Russia says it sees "no ground" to renew its grain deal with Ukraine, less than two weeks before the expiration of the agreement.

The Turkish president says that Russia has agreed to extend the Ukraine grain deal by two months.

Russia has warned that it would terminate a UN-brokered grain deal if the Group of Seven (G7) countries moved to ban exports to the country.

Russia has said the world’s top priority should be to avoid a military confrontation between nuclear powers, which could lead to “catastrophic consequences.”

A senior Russian official says Ukraine must stop using a grain export corridor for "terrorist attacks," a few days after Moscow pulled out of a UN-brokered deal reached to facilitate grain deliveries.

Ukrainian officials have reported multiple missile strikes in cities across the country, including the capital Kiev.

Russia suspends its participation in an agreement that allowed grain exports from Ukraine after a drone attack on Russian ships in Crimea.

There has been “no desire to listen to Russia’s position or participate in mediation efforts,” the Kremlin’s spokesman has said.

Officials from Turkey and Ukraine have paid a visit to a center that controls the export of grain through the Black Sea.

Russia says the grain deal between Moscow and Kiev stands despite a Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s port city of Odessa.
