Talks on extending the Black Sea grain deal beyond a May 18 deadline have not produced a breakthrough.

Ukraine, which depends heavily on revenue from grain sales as it battles Russia's invasion, and its allies blamed the latest halt to ship inspections in the Bosphorus on Moscow, which in turn has blamed Ukraine and the United Nations.

Talks on extending the Black Sea grain deal beyond a May 18 deadline have not produced a breakthrough, and Kyiv's grain exports are also restricted by import bans imposed by three eastern European countries. Russia's Foreign Ministry, without offering documentary evidence, accused Kyiv of sabotaging the deal by demanding bribes from ship owners to register vessels and carry out inspections. Kyiv did not immediately comment on the allegation.

He gave no details of the talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is due to discuss the grain export deal with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York next week.Kyiv is also trying to secure agreement from three European Union members states in eastern Europe to lift bans on Ukrainian grain and food products.

Large quantities of Ukrainian grain have been trapped in eastern and central Europe as low global prices and demand meant grain cannot easily be sold on.
