Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said that it will continue its efforts for the Black Sea grain export deal despite Russian hesitancy after Russia suspended its participation in the initiative at the weekend.

Erdogan said in a speech that even if Russia behaves hesitantly because it didn’t receive the same benefits, we will continue decisively our efforts to serve humanity,”.

Moscow blamed Kyiv for an attack on its Black Sea fleet and on Saturday pulled out of a deal to allow Ukrainian grain shipments for an “indefinite term”.
