Ukraine Proposes Black Sea Ceasefire Amid Grain Export Disruptions and Attacks
Ukraine has proposed a mutual halt to attacks on civilian targets in the Black Sea, transmitting the offer to Russia via a third party and awaiting a response. The conflict has disrupted key grain export routes, notably at Russia's Novorossiysk port, affecting global wheat supplies as both countries are major exporters. Recent Russian drone attacks have caused casualties in Ukraine, while Ukrainian strikes have damaged Russian grain terminals. Both sides accuse each other of targeting agricultural infrastructure amid concerns over a global food crisis.
