In Turkey, they announced the stabilization of the work of the “grain corridor”

The operation of the “grain corridor” and the export of food from Ukraine by sea have stabilized. This was stated by Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar in an interview with Habertürk.

“At 12:00 on Wednesday, it was decided to resume the operation of the grain export mechanism. The operation of the sea corridor is completely normalized. Its operation continues, it is a humanitarian mission,” he said.

At the same time, the minister said that after Russia’s disruption of the “grain agreement”, he held negotiations with the Ukrainian side and the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu.

“We spoke again with our Ukrainian colleagues, and they gave some assurances. We passed this on to Mr. Shoigu,” Akar clarified.

We will remind, on October 29, Russia announced that it was withdrawing from the “grain agreement” allegedly because of Ukraine’s “attack” on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

Yesterday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the resumption of the “grain corridor”. Later, Russia confirmed its participation in the “grain agreement”.
