MYKOLAIV/NEAR KUPYANSK, Ukraine - Russia jolted world grain markets with an escalation in the Black Sea, mounting a third straight night of air strikes on Ukrainian ports and issuing a threat against Ukraine-bound vessels to which Kyiv responded in kind.
Moscow says it will not participate in the year-old grain deal without better terms for its own food and fertiliser sales. The United Nations saysThe UN Security Council will meet on Friday over “the humanitarian consequences” of Russia’s withdrawal, said Britain’s UN mission. The Chinese foreign ministry said the shock wave of the explosion “knocked down parts of the walls and window panes of the consulate... China is paying close attention to the relevant developments.”
