Russia strikes Ukraine grain port after exiting export deal

The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that attempts to ship grain from Ukrainian Black Sea ports without security guarantees from Russia would carry risks because Kyiv used those waters for military activities.
Moscow on Monday announced it was quitting a grain deal, which for the past year had permitted the safe export of Ukrainian grain from its Black Sea ports – despite what Russia calls its special military operation in Ukraine – to help address a global food emergency.
Russia said it pulled out because a parallel agreement to facilitate exports of its own grain and fertiliser in the face of Western economic sanctions had not been fulfilled.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that the sponsors of the deal, Turkey and the U.N., could still help Ukraine to maintain a safe sea
corridor and inspect vessels.
