REPLAY: Lavrov holds press conference in Turkey for talks on unblocking grain exports • FRANCE 24

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks on Wednesday in Ankara with Turkish officials on a plan that would allow Ukraine to export its grain through the Black Sea to global markets amid an escalating food crisis. Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but the war and a Russian blockade of its ports have halted much of that flow, endangering world food supplies to many developing countries.
