Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and UN to sign "grain peace treaty"
An agreement on creating a corridor for the transportation of Ukrainian grain across the Black Sea is expected to be signed in Istanbul on Friday.
The Turkish presidential office announced on Thursday that the document was set to be signed at the Dolmabahce Palace at 4:30 pm on July 22. According to Ankara, the ceremony will involve representatives of Russia and Ukraine, as well as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Guterres on Thursday arrived in Istanbul where an agreement is expected to be signed on July 22 for the exports of Ukrainian grain, according to the UN.
"Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has landed in Turkey as part of his efforts to ensure full global access to Ukraine’s food products and Russian food and fertilizer," the UN spokesperson’s office said.
Progress on resolving the grain corridor issue was made at a four-party meeting in Istanbul on July 13, where Russia put forward some practical proposals. The parties mostly supported Russia’s proposals, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said. Talks later continued online.
