Russia has announced that it will participate in the Black Sea grain initiative that was brokered in July by the UN and Ukraine to ease the global food shortages and the price hike. Russia had withdrawn from the deal after accusing Ukraine for attacking Black Sea Fleet in Crimea.

He said, "he was grateful for the 'diplomatic efforts' of Türkiye, 'and thanks the UN Coordinator, Amir Abdulla, and his team for their work to keep this vital food supply line open.”
