It became known about the automatic extension of the grain deal with the consent of the parties

A source familiar with the details of the negotiations around the grain deal told the media about the automatic extension of the agreement after March 18 if the parties agree. According to him, this does not require any special mechanisms.

“If the parties have no objections, the deal will continue after March 18,” he said.

It is clarified that if the agreement is not amended, then it will continue to operate in the same form as at the present time. The source clarified that the term of its extension does not really matter until at least one of the parties expresses its intention to change the terms of the agreement or stop it.

Earlier, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov appreciated the proposal of the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Vershinin to extend the grain deal for 60 days. He stated that it violated the terms of the original agreement signed by the parties.
