Ukraine has started negotiations with partners regarding the continuation and expansion of the "grain agreement". This is reported by the Reuters agency.

In particular, Ukraine began online negotiations with partners regarding the expansion of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, aimed at continuing to be able to supply grain to world markets. According to sources, Ukraine is not negotiating with Russia, but Kyiv understands that partners are communicating with the Russians.

"The situation with the negotiations is quite difficult. Now a lot depends not on us, but on partners," the source said.

It will be recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian Federation began to block the export of grain from Ukrainian ports. The so-called "grain agreement", which allows the export of Ukrainian products by sea, was concluded in the summer of 2022. It was extended in November and expires on March 18 of this year.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, stated that Ukraine is interested in the continuation of the "grain agreement", however, Russia must fulfill a number of conditions in order not to slow down this process.

In one of his latest statements about the "grain agreement", President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that it deserves an indefinite extension.
