There Are Delays With Inspection Of Ships Under Grain Deal, Talks Are Underway - Source

There are delays with the inspection of ships under the Black Sea grain deal, talks are underway, a source familiar with the negotiations told Sputnik.

Earlier, the UN reported that in May the number of inspections of vessels participating in the Black Sea Grain Initiative decreased to an average of 2.9 per day (in April, the average figure was 4 inspections per day). In particular, no inspections were carried out on Sunday and Monday.

"Yes, there are such problems... But we are holding talks with the parties. Of course, they are not always easy, but they are ongoing," the source said.
