Türkiye awaits Russian response over continuity of Black Sea grain deal, and President Zelenskyy seeks 'tough response' from the world if Russia disrupts Ukraine's food exports, as fighting enters its 252nd day Follow our live coverage: 👇
Grain exports through Black Sea will halt on Wednesday – day 252 of the conflict – as Russia pulls out of the agreement while demanding"real guarantees" from Ukraine before returning to deal brokered by Türkiye and UN.
"Mr. Shoigu continues to discuss the issue with his own authorities in the light of the information we have provided. We expect a response from them today and tomorrow," Akar said in a statement. Zelenskyy said ships were moving out of Ukrainian ports with cargoes thanks to efforts by Türkiye and the United Nations to keep the corridor open and working. "But a reliable and long-term defence is needed for the grain corridor," Zelenskyy said in his video address.
