On July 22, Ukraine and Russia signed a deal separately with Turkey and the UN in Istanbul to resume fertilizer and food shipments from ports in Ukraine to international markets via the Black Sea.

The agreement is going to expire in November. The officials in Ukraine have mentioned that Kyiv is interested in extending the deal and expanding a wide range of goods for export-specific purposes.
