Mykhailo Podolyak: Ukraine holding talks to extend ‘Grain Agreement’ 

Ukraine is holding tough talks to ensure grain continues flowing from its Black Sea ports even after a deal on such exports expires next month, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian president’s chief of staff, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday.

“We hope for a prolongation of the mandate to bring the grain out of Ukraine’s ports,” the key adviser said.
