 U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday confirmed all parties had agreed to extend the U.N.-brokered Black Sea Green Dill, aimed at easing a global food crisis after Russia had cast doubts on its continued participation in the agreement. The deal signed in July had been due to expire on Saturday. An attorney to Ukrainian infrastructure minister Aleksandr Kovakov said the deal will be prolonged for 120 days. Recall that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday cast out on the future of the agreement, saying it depended on existing terms being met. Earlier this month, Russia rejoined the deal after saying it was pulling out. Ukraine and Russia together account for nearly a third of global wheat exports, and the great deal has played a crucial role in lowering the price of wheat and other commodities globally.
