Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said the situation related to the Black Sea grain deal had reached a deadlock, adding there were still obstacles blocking Russian exports.
The pact was renewed for 60 days last month, but Russia has signalled it may well not agree to extend it further unless the West removes obstacles to the exports of Russian grain and fertiliser. Lavrov made his comments during a news conference at the United Nations.
