Russia ends participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative

On 17 July 2023, Russia announces the end of its participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative, according to the UN and Euronews.

The mechanism negotiated in July 2022 allowed food exports from Ukrainian ports despite the war. The UN Secretary-General regrets Russia’s decision.

The agreement’s end must be distinguished from a halt to all Ukrainian exports: other sea and land routes, and their volumes, require their own evidence.
