Speaking at an international conference in Berlin, Scholz said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s arguments for not extending the grain deal were unfounded, and Moscow’s withdrawal has put countries at risk of increased food insecurity. Ukraine may take legal action after Poland unilaterally moved to extend a ban on importing its grain, Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said.
It said an 84-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man were killed in their home in the town of Krasnohorivka, west of the city of Donetsk, and that a woman was hurt in the same attack. But he said Kiev would use any cessation of hostilities"to replenish their resources and restore the combat capability of their armed forces."
"They are going to deliver F-16s. Will this change anything? I don't think so. It will just prolong the conflict," Putin said at an economic forum in Russia's Far East.Wooden ammunition crates ditched by retreating Russian forces are still piled up in Oleksandr Kokovych's kitchen garden, a conspicuous symbol of the six-month occupation of his remote village in northeastern Ukraine.
