Ukraine said its crop shipments through the Black Sea safe-passage corridor remained suspended for a second day, adding to uncertainty about future supplies from the key agriculture exporter.
Under a deal brokered last year to keep Ukraine’s grain flowing, a joint coordination center in Istanbul hosts teams from Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations that check ships headed to and from three Ukrainian ports. No inspections took place on Monday, which Kyiv blamed on obstruction by Russia, and Ukraine’s infrastructure ministry said Tuesday that activity was still halted.
