Russia Says It Is Open to Talks With Ukraine, Turkey on Grain Exports
KYIV, Ukraine—Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that Moscow is ready to negotiate with Ukraine and Turkey about grain exports but it is unclear when such talks might take place.
Western leaders, meanwhile, sought to pressure Mr. Lavrov at the Group of 20 ministerial summit in Bali, Indonesia, accusing Moscow of preventing Ukrainian grain from reaching global markets. Mr. Lavrov walked out of two meetings at the summit and accused Western countries of “frenzied Russophobia.”
