What is the Black Sea Grain Initiative?
What has happened to the Black Sea Grain Initiative?
Recently, Russia suspended its involvement in the initiative saying it could not guarantee safety for civilian ships crossing the Black Sea because of an attack on its fleet there.
This led to exacerbated food shortages and a cost of living crisis in many countries as Ukraine is one of the world’s biggest suppliers of grain and oilseeds.
However, it has now decided to resume its participation in the initiative after Russia received written guarantees from Ukraine not to use the Black Sea grain corridor for military operations against Russia.
