BREAKING: Erdogan confirms Black Sea grain deal extension

Reports from Turkish media released earlier today suggested that Russia and Ukraine are close to agreeing on an extension of the Black Sea grain initiative that would allow Ukrainian maritime grain exports to continue.

Those media revelations have just been confirmed by Turkish President Erdogan, who said that Russian and Ukraine agreed to a two-month extension.
