About 280,000 tonnes of agricultural products will be exported from Ukrainian ports for the World Food Programme (WFP) under a UN-brokered deal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia and the developing world had been “cheated” by the deal. He wanted to revise the agreement as Ukrainian exports were not going to the world’s poorest countries as intended.
Ukraine, however, says around 2.37 million tonnes of food exports have already left its Black Sea ports, including 1.04 million tonnes for Asian countries and 470,000 tonnes for African states.
