Turkey to host Russia-Ukraine-UN grain talks

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu

Turkey said it will host Russian and Ukrainian delegations together with UN diplomats on Wednesday to discuss the resumption of stalled grain deliveries across the Black Sea.

The four-way meeting with Turkish officials comes as food prices soar around the world due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine is one of the world's biggest exporters of wheat and other grain.

But its shipments have blocked by Russian warships and mines that Kyiv has laid across the Black Sea.
