Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the UN have agreed a deal to allow ships out of Odesa, says Erdoğan, amid global food crisis
Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the UN secretary general, António Guterres, are to sign a deal on Friday to resume Ukraine’s Black Sea grain exports, the Turkish president’s office has said.
Russia and Ukraine are both major global wheat suppliers, but Moscow’s invasion of its neighbour has sent prices soaring and stoked an international food crisis. Kyiv’s exports have stalled, with dozens of ships stranded and about 20m tonnes of grain stuck in silos at the port of Odesa.
