Russia will have contacts with Turkey and the United Nations on the Ukraine grain deal soon, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said on Sunday.
"We will have contacts both with the United Nations and Turkey, as participants in the Istanbul deal. These contacts will take place in the near future," he said.
According to Rudenko, any talk about further steps on the Ukraine grain deal will be possible only after all the circumstances of Ukraine’s attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet ships are clarified and the UN Security Council holds a meeting on this topic.
"First of all, it is necessary to clarify all the circumstances of what happened. This total outrage violates all the terms that were earlier agreed. So, probably, only after all the details are clear," he said.
