Russia will not extend the grain deal that expires tonight. The agreement allowed grain from Ukraine to be shipped across the Black Sea to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, despite the war. The Kremlin will only go back on the deal if its demands are met, it sounds. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called the Russian attitude “unacceptable”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks of “blackmail” on Monday evening. He wants to continue with the agreement without Russia if necessary.
