The Black Sea grain deal and the Erdogan-Putin connection
Manage episode 347486576 series 2631806
On Thursday the UN and other parties said an agreement that unblocked grain shipments from Ukraine and helped temper rising global food prices was to be extended by four months. There was a fear earlier this month that the deal would collapse after Russia’s President Putin abruptly pulled out. After rejoining, Turkish President Erdogan boasted that his relationship with Putin was key to restoring the agreement. Ayla Jean Yackley, a journalist covering Turkey with stories in The Financial Times, Politico, and other major outlets, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the significance of this grain deal, and look at how it shines light on Erdogan and Putin’s deep ties.
