Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that he had not heard any new proposals on the Black Sea grain export deal, which is set to expire on Monday.
The deal, brokered by the United Nations and Türkiye last July, aimed to prevent a global food crisis by allowing Ukrainian grain blocked by the conflict to be safely exported.
Russia has repeatedly threatened to pull out of the deal unless what it calls obstacles to its own grain and fertiliser exports are lifted.
