The UN denied on Wednesday that Türkiye received a 25% discount in grain prices from Ukraine under a UN-backed deal.
"We did much research, as much research as possible, and I can tell you that there was no discount built into the Black Sea Grain Initiative agreement that was signed in Istanbul. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other agreement that would guarantee such a discount," said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
His comments came to clarify a response to a question raised by a journalist concerning the grain deal and a possible discount afforded to Türkiye for its purchase of Ukrainian grain.
Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a landmark deal on July 22 to reopen three Ukrainian ports – Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny – for grain that had been stuck for months due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which is now in its sixth month.
