ULAANBAATAR, October 24. /TASS/. There has been no progress on the grain deal for Russia, which is why negotiations have not been resumed, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Arbamchenko said.

"No, there has been no progress for the Russian side. As there has been no progress for the Russian side the negotiation process has not been resumed," she told reporters.

"There are other ways of organizing agriculture exports for us. Results both in price and volume terms show that we fully solve those issues. The grain deal is not the only channel, corridor for sales of our products," Deputy PM noted.
