The security expert Claudia Major estimates the chances of a revival of the Ukrainian grain agreement with Russia as low. In view of renewed Russian attacks on Ukrainian grain ports shortly before a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish head of state Recep Tayyip Erdogan, there seems to be “little willingness”, said the head of the research group security policy of the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) on ZDF- morning magazine.
It is difficult to predict “whether the Turkish president will actually succeed in convincing Russia to resume this agreement,” Major said. In this context, the expert pointed out that there were “regular channels of communication with Russia” and “repeated efforts” to negotiate. “But Russia obviously has very little interest in that,” Major said. Moscow is “still playing for victory”.
