Russia said on Saturday there was no agreement yet to extend a deal allowing Ukraine to export grain via the Black Sea, repeating its insistence on unhindered access to world markets for its own food and fertiliser exports.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin was quoted by state news agency TASS as saying talks with UN officials in Geneva on Friday had been useful and detailed but the issue of renewing the deal – which expires in one week – had yet to be resolved.

But Russia has repeatedly complained its own grain and fertiliser shipments, though not directly targeted by Western sanctions, are effectively blocked because the sanctions cut shippers’ access to finance insurance and ports. A UN statement on Friday said the participants “remain engaged in the implementation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and held constructive discussions on its continuation”.

The European Union announced on June 3 that it was removing the bank from SWIFT as part of its sixth wave of sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
