AUGUST 04: With the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain continuing to sail to Lebanon, Türkiye's foreign minister said Thursday that the grain export deal signed in Istanbul had to be "sustainable" and could be the basis for a "comprehensive cease-fire" to end the war in Ukraine.
"It has to be sustainable, and the duration of this agreement is for four months," Mevlut Cavusoglu told a joint news conference with his Malaysian counterpart Saifuddin Abdullah in Kuala Lumpur, adding that the grain export deal will be extended if there are no objections made prior to the ending of the agreement.
Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a historic deal on July 22 to reopen three Ukrainian ports -- Odesa, Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny -- for grain that has been stuck for months due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which is now in its sixth month. Haber
