UN: The grain agreement must continue
The United Nations has expressed hope that the wheat deal between Russia and Ukraine will soon be valid again. The background is that Russia has suspended the deal. Moscow justifies this with alleged attacks on ships in the Black Sea, which is why the safety of grain transport is no longer guaranteed. According to a UN spokesman, contacts have already been made with the Russian authorities. The agreement must remain in place so that millions of people around the world can be supplied with grain. | 29/10/2022 22:10
