LIVE. Last ship leaves Odesa port before end of grain deal

The grain agreement between Russia and Ukraine expires tonight and an extension is not yet in sight. The Kremlin is demanding a relaxation of Western sanctions against Russian food and fertilizers, a condition that has not been met, according to Putin. If the deal falls through, it could lead to food shortages, especially in Africa. The UN and several other countries are urging Russia to extend the agreement as a result.
