How Russia performed U-turn on grain deal as Ukraine, UN and Turkey ‘united’ – video


Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has hailed Russia’s U-turn to rejoin a UN-backed grain export deal as a ‘significant diplomatic outcome’ that demonstrated ‘the failure of Russian aggression’.

Russia initially said it would abandon the deal that allowed grain exports from Ukraine through the Black Sea, following a drone attack on its warships in the port of Sevastopol. 

Russia’s defence ministry said it was satisfied it had received ‘sufficient’ guarantees from Kyiv that it would not use the maritime corridor to carry out attacks
