Ukrainian wheat may soon be headed to world markets once again, under a proposal that would involve Turkish ships demining the waters around Odessa and sharing escort duties with the Russian Navy, multiple outlets reported on Monday. The "grain corridor" could help with food shortages in a number of countries in Africa and the Middle East, including Turkey itself. 

According to Bloomberg, quoting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Kiev is negotiating with the UN on how to export the grain, and is skeptical of a "tentative" deal between Russia and Turkey.

UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths arrived in Moscow on June 3, for talks about restoring the shipments of grain from the Black Sea ports, according to Reuters.
