Russia is ready to negotiate on the taking out of Ukrainian grain. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, RIA Novosti reported.

"We are ready for negotiations [in this regard] with our Ukrainian and Turkish colleagues," he told reporters. "We have all the solutions."

"If it's about the Ukrainian grain, Ukraine should unblock its ports, clear mines or ensure safe passage through minefields. And already outside the territorial sea, Ukraine, Russia and Turkey are ready to ensure the safety of the respective ships and bring them to the [Turkish] straits and then to the Mediterranean Sea where they will sail in their own course," the Russian FM added.
