RUSSIAN MISSILE ATTACK ON UKRAINE PORT THREATENS GRAIN EXPORT AGREEMENT
Jul. 25, 2022
Agri-Pulse reports:
The ink was barely dry on a deal to allow shipments of grain stuck in Ukrainian ports when Russia unleashed a missile attack that has jeopardized the agreement.
Turkey, which worked with the United Nations to help broker the deal, said the bombing does not necessarily mean the grain shipment deal is dead, even as Russia alleged military targets were hit in the Odesa strike, which claimed a grain silo.
However, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday the attack "casts serious doubt on the credibility of Russia's commitment to yesterday's deal and undermines the work of the UN, Turkey, and Ukraine to get critical food to world markets. Russia bears responsibility for deepening the global food crisis and must stop its aggression and fully implement the deal to which it has agreed."
