West still has time to solve grain deal issues - Russian diplomat

The West still has time to remove "obstacles" hindering the implementation of the Black Sea grain deal before a deadline on May 18, senior Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov said on Friday on the Telegram messaging app.

Russia agreed to a renewal of the deal by a further 60 days last month but has said it may not agree to an extension beyond May 18 unless the West removes obstacles to the export of Russian grain and fertiliser.
