Muscow pull out from Ukraine grain export

Subject: International relations

Context:

Recently Russia has suspended participation in a UN-brokered deal to export agricultural produce from Ukrainian ports following attacks on ships in Crimea.
What was the deal about:
- The deal was agreed through UN and Turkish mediation.
- It established safe corridors along which Ukrainian ships can come in and out of three designated Black Sea ports in and around Odessa.
- Both sides also pledged not to attack ships on the way in or out
Why was the grain export deal signed:
- Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia’s invasion of the country and naval blockade of its ports had halted shipments and had caused the food shortage in the world.
Why was the deal cancelled:
- The deal was cancelled after Russia alleged Ukrainian forces for the attack on the ships from the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, the biggest city in Russian-annexed Crimea.
