Ukraine Defies Russian Threats, Successfully Delivers Second Wheat Shipment to Turkey

A second Ukrainian wheat cargo ship has successfully arrived in Istanbul via the Black Sea, despite threats from Moscow to attack boats entering and leaving Ukraine. This comes as Russia suffers from fuel shortages, which are likely caused by factors such as increased demand from the agricultural sector, refinery maintenance, and attractive prices. Russia suspended most diesel and petrol exports to stabilize its internal markets, further constraining supplies in a tight global market and impacting countries dependent on Russian fuel supplies.
