VOA interviewed John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House about Russia's withdrawal Monday from the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
The deal was brokered last year by the United Nations and Turkey, lifting a Russian blockade on Ukrainian ports that Russia imposed after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Moscow announced on Monday its withdrawal from the agreement, which is credited with easing food shortages and inflation in many countries that depend on Ukrainian grain to feed their populations.
Russia has warned ships against sailing to the Ukrainian Black Sea ports from Thursday, saying they would be seen as potential military targets. #ukraine #russia #news #voanews
