Source: Grain deal situation unlikely to change in 2023

ANKARA, Oct 25 (PRIME) -- No changes are expected in the negotiations on the Black Sea Grain Initiative resumption in 2023, a diplomatic source in Ankara told PRIME on Wednesday.

"No, there is currently no optimism concerning a serious change of the situation and a noticeable progress (in the talks). But they have continued in the U.N.," the source said.

Moscow left the deal on July 18. President Vladimir Putin said in August that Russia was ready to return to it in case of switching the Russian Agricultural Bank to SWIFT.
