Grain deal extension talks confronted by russia's sabotage: FM Kuleba

Ukraine raised the issue of russia's sabotage of the Black Sea Grain Initiative at the Munich Security Conference, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba told Interfax-Ukraine.

"This question is to be considered regularly — every time the grain deal expires. Last time, we also had a discussion," the minister said.

Dmytro Kuleba also commented on the possibility of finding an alternative option to avoid dependence on the terrorist state russia.

"There is an option without russia when there is no russia," the minister stated.

On February 17, the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yuri Vaskov announced the start of the negotiations on the Ukraine grain deal extension in a week.
