Grain deal

Ukraine’s grain: Unblocked?
Turkey said that Moscow and Kyiv had reached a deal to unblock Ukrainian grain exports. The Turkish presidency said the pact would be signed today, but Russia and Ukraine did not confirm they had reached an agreement.

If signed, a deal would help alleviate a global food shortage. Ukraine is one of the world’s breadbaskets, and more than 20 million tons of grain have been trapped in the country’s Black Sea ports since Russia invaded.

I do not trust russia. Something will go wrong and russia will try and blame Ukraine.

They do not keep promises: Budapest Memorandum and Crimea for one.

A keystone of the deal is russia’s promise not to attack Odessa and two other ports involved in the shipments.

That sure lasted....a day. Trust russia at your peril.

Russia already targeted Odessa with missiles, so I think it is all BS.

@msros Exactly.

A small bit of good news in a troubled world, I hope.

@Burnley123 I am sceptical.
