Russian navy carries out live fire exercise in Black Sea

  • Russia has escalated its attacks on Ukrainian food export facilities and practiced seizing ships in the Black Sea, potentially threatening a global food crisis and increasing concerns about the supply of grain.
  • The attacks on Ukraine's grain infrastructure came after Kyiv vowed to defy Russia's naval blockade on its grain export ports, following Moscow's withdrawal from a UN-brokered safe sea corridor agreement.
  • Western leaders accuse Russia of attempting to loosen sanctions by targeting Ukraine's food exports, while the United States imposed Russia-related sanctions against nearly 120 people and entities in an effort to constrain Russia's military capabilities.
