Russia and Ukraine sign a landmark deal with the United Nations and Turkey on resuming grain shipments that could ease a global food crisis in which millions face hunger. IMAGES
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says that Russia and Ukraine's signing of a deal with the United Nations and Turkey on resuming grain shipments would "bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy". He adds that the accord "opens a path for significant volumes of commercial food exports from three key Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea: Odessa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny." IMAGES
The first grain ship to sail from Ukraine since Russia reimposed its Black Sea blockade in July crosses the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul. Ukrainian officials said the Palau-flagged Resilient Africa vessel was carrying 3,000 tonnes of wheat when it left Ukraine's Chornomorsk port on Tuesday. It was destined for Israel, according to marine traffic websites, representing the first successful Black Sea voyage since Russia pulled out of a UN-backed deal to export Ukrainian grain. IMAGES
