Zelenskiy says Russia does not seem interested in extending grain deal

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that Russia did not appear to be interested in extending the Black Sea grain deal, but that Kyiv was focused on looking for partners to fulfil the deal and was not looking for Russian interest.

The grain deal mediated by Turkey and the United Nations is due to expire on May 18. Zelenskiy made the comments at a press conference in Helsinki.
