The Black Sea Grain Initiative has resumed its operations, but Russia has been blocking incoming fleets from accessing the Pivdennyi seaport, the deepest port in the region, for almost a month now. This is happening despite the efforts of the Joint Coordination Center (JCC) to resolve the issue.

Global wheat prices fell Thursday after Ukraine and Russia agreed to extend a deal allowing grain to be exported from Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea.

The main goal of the Council of Europe summit will be to develop legislative and legal mechanisms to bring Russia to justice.

Leaders of 46 countries who gathered on Tuesday for a two-day summit of the Council of Europe intend to create a system that will make it possible to hold Russia accountable for war crimes and destruction in Ukraine.

After 5 EU member states (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) had requested an extension of the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain until the end of 2023, the other 12 member states appealed to the European Commission with their appeal, in which they indicate their displeasure in this situation and require explanations.
