Turkish officials are discussing three scenarios of how the situation around the stalled grain deal may evolve, and Türkiye's top diplomat, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan is planning to discuss the results of these discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba, the pro-government newspaper Yeni Safak reported on Friday, APA reports citing TASS.
If no solution is found "the food crisis would escalate" under a scenario that would not meet the interests of either Russia or Ukraine or the United States, and even "military tensions could arise."
Under another scenario, unilateral actions will be taken to set up alternative routes based on bilateral agreements, particularly for Ukrainian agricultural supplies via the Danube, or a ground-based route to Europe.
And the third scenario envisages a revival of the grain deal "as soon as certain Russian concerns are removed," the newspaper writes.
