Putin Suspends Black Sea Grain Exports Deal

President Vladimir Putin says Russia is suspending - but not ending - its participation in a deal that allows safe passage to vessels carrying Ukrainian grain exports. <br />Moscow pulled out of the UN-brokered agreement on Saturday, alleging that Ukraine had used a safety corridor in the Black Sea to attack its fleet. <br />The UN says there were no ships inside the corridor that night. <br />Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the deal would be honoured and accused Russia of blackmailing the world with hunger.
