UK hopes Erdoğan will help to bring Russia back to Black Sea Grain Initiative

James Cleverly, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, hopes that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be able to persuade Russia to come back to the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Source: Cleverly in an interview with Anadolu, reported by European Pravda Quote: "I really hope that the [Turkish] President [Recep Tayyip Erdogan] is able to impress upon the importance of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, helping lift people out of hunger, helping reduce international grain prices."

Details: Cleverly has said that Erdogan has done "incredibly important job on behalf of many people around the world" by playing his part in securing the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

Cleverly has also accused Russia of using hunger around the world as a means of influence and called on the Kremlin to come back to the grain deal. Background: On 17 July, Russia announced the suspension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and threatened the parties that decide to continue the initiative without Russia's participation with "risks". Ukraine appealed to Turkiye and the UN with a proposal to continue the functioning of the grain corridor under the Black Sea Grain Initiative without Russia, which has withdrawn from the agreement.
