Russia insists that the grain deal has been extended for 60 days
The Ukrainian side claims that it is for 120 days.
Moscow agrees to extend the grain deal only for 60 days, not 120 days, as the Ukrainian side claims.
Russia has notified all parties to the grain deal that it agrees to extend the agreement for 60 days, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"We have seen notifications from the parties to the grain deal that the agreement has been extended for 120 days," Zakharova told reporters.
"We have repeatedly stated – both the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN – that the Russian side has notified all parties to the agreement that it is extending the agreement for 60 days," Zakharova said.
Background. As a reminder, Ukraine's Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said that the grain deal, concluded with the participation of the UN, Turkey and other partner countries, was signed for 4 months, or 120 days.
On Saturday, Turkish President Erdogan also announced the extension of the grain deal, but he did not specify the duration of the agreement. The UN also did not announce the extension of the agreement.
