Kremlin: Window to extend Black Sea grain deal is shrinking

The Kremlin said on Tuesday that the window to extend the Black Sea grain deal was shrinking, and that ongoing talks between the parties were continuing, but without any results.

Russia has repeatedly indicated it is prepared to walk away from the deal on May 18 if its demands to ease restrictions on its own agricultural exports are not addressed.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that part of the deal concerning Russia's interests was not being implemented.
