Russia rejects proposal for ceasefire in the Black Sea
The Russian government dismisses a ceasefire proposal in the Black Sea as a UN agency warns of dangers to food security.
The Ukrainian side proposed a ceasefire in the Black Sea following attacks on civilian infrastructure. However, this was rejected by the Russian government, which has not accepted the Turkish proposal for a ceasefire in the region.
A UN agency has pointed out the potential consequences for the global grain trade in this context, warning that food security could be at risk worldwide. Developments in the Black Sea could therefore have far-reaching implications for global food supply.
