Ukraine's Final Ship Sets Sail as Black Sea Grain-Deal Deadline Looms

The last ship to travel under a U.N.-brokered deal allowing the safe export of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea has left the port of Odesa ahead of the deadline to extend the agreement. Russia has not agreed to register any new ships since June 27, and the initiative will expire on Monday unless Moscow agrees to an extension. Ukrainian officials have not commented on the ship's departure. The deal, brokered by the U.N. and Turkey in July 2022, was previously extended for two months on May 17.

Ukraine to hold talks on Black Sea grain export deal.

Talks are scheduled for Wednesday to discuss a UN-brokered deal that allows the safe Black Sea export of Ukrainian grain. The deal, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey last July, allows grain trapped by Russia's invasion to be safely exported from Ukraine's Black Sea ports. Russia has signalled it will not allow the deal agreed last July to continue beyond May 18 because a list of demands to facilitate its own grain and fertiliser exports has not been met.

"Russian interests and 'new world order' dominate Ukraine peace talks"

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said any Ukraine peace talks must focus on creating a “new world order” and take into account “Russian interests, Russian concerns”. Lavrov said negotiations should be based on the principles of the new world order and rejected a “unipolar world order led by ‘one hegemon'”. Meanwhile, Russia has threatened to bypass the United Nations-brokered grain deal unless obstacles to its agricultural exports were removed. The Black Sea grain deal is an attempt by the UN to ease a food crisis that predated the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
