Russia is hammering Ukraine's port city of Odesa after quitting the grain deal. What happens now?
Russia has repeatedly attacked the Ukrainian port city of Odesa in the days since it withdrew from the grain dealThe Ukraine Grain Deal. 22 July 2022 - 17 July 2023.It had allowed Ukraine to export its grain to the world through the Black Sea.
"We stopped our exports for the first two to three months of the war," explains Yevhen Osypov, Kernel's CEO.While global grain supplies seem to be stable for now, global markets saw the price of grain rise by 8% within a day of Russia pulling out - the highest daily rise since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year.
The death of the grain deal extends well beyond Odesa's ports. The city's mayor Gennady Trukhanov thinks Moscow just wants to show nothing will be exported without them, and he's right. "We feel there is a need for us to harvest as much grain as possible," says Yulia, a lab technician at Kernel, as she pours samples into a pipe.
Last July, the Kremlin had seemed keen to be "part of the solution" when it came to the food crisis that it has directly caused by invading Ukraine.Despite the lack of a pulse, Turkey - one of the main brokers of the grain deal along with the United Nations - is still hopeful it can be resuscitated.
