Russia said on Monday it would no longer guarantee the safety of ships passing through a Black Sea transit corridor as it announced its official withdrawal from a U.N.-brokered deal that had allowed Ukraine to export its grain surplus.Moscow’s refusal to extend the Black Sea Grain Initiative agreed a year ago means the “withdrawal of navigation safety guarantees, curtailment of the maritime humanitarian corridor, [and] restoration of the regime of a temporarily dangerous area in the northwestern Black Sea,” the foreign ministry said in a statement posted on Telegram. Some 33 million metric tons of Ukrainian grain and oilseeds have been shipped under the initiative over the last year, easing global food prices, but Russia claims the deal has not lived up to its “declared humanitarian goals.” The Joint Coordination Center, set up to allow U.N., Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian officials to oversee the initiative’s implementation, will also be disbanded, Russia said.“The export...Russia warns shipping in danger after it quits Black Sea grain deal

Russia said on Monday that it would no longer guarantee the safety of shipping in the northwestern Black Sea after quitting a year-old deal that allowed Ukraine to export tens of millions of tons of grain.The announcement reflected President Vladimir Putin’s fury that the U.N.-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative had been detrimental to Russia and came hours after blasts seriously damaged the Kerch Bridge that links the mainland to the strategic Crimean Peninsula that Moscow now controls.Complaining that agreements underpinning the grain deal had been the target of “outright sabotage,” the foreign ministry announced an end to guarantees of safe navigation; the curtailment of the maritime humanitarian corridor; and “the restoration of the regime of a temporarily dangerous area in the northwestern Black Sea.”The Black Sea grain deal had offered an economic lifeline both to Ukrainian farmers and food-insecure nations hit by turmoil on agricultural markets followi...Two men and dog rescued after boat explosion in Gloucester

LONDON (AP) — A pod of 55 pilot whales have died after they were found washed ashore on a beach in Scotland in the worst mass whale stranding in the area, marine experts said Monday.Marine rescuers, the coast guard and police were called to Traigh Mhor beach on the Isle of Lewis in northwest Scotland after receiving reports that dozens of the mammals were in difficulty there early Sunday. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue found that only 15 of the whales — a mixture of adults and calves — were still alive, and attempted to refloat two of the more active animals that were low down in the water.But by Sunday afternoon rescue teams decided that the remaining whales should be euthanized on welfare grounds, after considering the shallow beach, rough wave conditions and how long the whales had been out of the water. The charity said the whole pod may have followed a female whale onto the beach when she had problems giving birth.“Pilot whales are notorious for their strong social bonds...The bridge to Crimea is crucial to Russia’s war effort in Ukraine and to asserting Moscow’s control
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:32:51 GMT
The bridge connecting Crimea and Russia carries heavy significance for Moscow, both logistically and psychologically, as a key artery for military and civilian supplies and as an assertion of Kremlin control of the peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014.An attack on the bridge before dawn Monday, killing a couple and seriously injuring their daughter, left a span of the roadway hanging perilously. The damage initially appeared to be less severe than what was caused by an assault in October, but it highlighted the bridge’s vulnerability.Russia blamed Ukraine for both attacks. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Security Service on Monday did not directly acknowledge responsibility but said the service would reveal details about organizing the blast once Ukraine achieves victory in the war.A CRITICAL CONNECTIONThe Crimean Peninsula extends south from Ukraine’s mainland, with road connections on two isthmuses, one of which is less than 2 kilometers (1 mile) wide, and by a bridge from a narro...Latest news
