Russia Considers New Grain Deal Proposal as Previous Attempts Fall Short


MOSCOW: Russia is reviewing a proposal for the resumption of a grain deal facilitated by Turkey, following previous unsuccessful attempts to reach an agreement that satisfied Moscow’s conditions, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated. The proposal is currently under examination by Russian officials, who will formulate their positions before reporting to President Vladimir Putin.
