Well, I reckon ol' President Putin over yonder in Russia done said that Ukraine ain't gonna get their grain deal back for safe exportin' through the Black Sea 'til the West steps up. Yessir, he's lookin' for the West to make good on some promises 'bout helpin' out Russian agricultural exports. Now, Putin didn't spill the beans on what exactly he's wantin' from the West, but he did tell that Erdogan feller he's "open to negotiations" on sortin' out that grain deal. So, looks like the ball's in the West's court, y'know?
