“Concerns are growing that Russia will not extend a United Nations-brokered deal that allows grain to flow from Ukraine to parts of the world struggling with hunger, with ships no longer heading to the war-torn country’s Black Sea ports and food exports dwindling,” Associated Press writes in piece about the critical agreement between the two countries.
The article quotes IFPRI senior research fellow Joseph Glauber: “Russia gets a lot of good public will for continuing this agreement. There would be a cost to pay in terms of public perception and global goodwill, I think, as far as Russia is concerned” if the deal isn’t extended.
