[**Quick update**](https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-announces-grain-export-agreement-between-russia-and-ukraine)

> Negotiators for both sides will meet in Istanbul on Friday to sign the deal, in a meeting that will be attended by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who played a key role in negotiating the deal.

> Ukraine and Russia are both vital exporters of wheat and grain, and together provide about 30 percent of the global supply

> A day after the Istanbul talks last week, **`Washington also assured banks, shipping and insurance companies that transactions to facilitate Russian food and fertiliser exports would not breach Washington's sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.`**

**Both Russia and Ukraine can ship food and fertilizer..**
