Threats against civilian vessels in the Black Sea are 'unacceptable,' a senior U.N. official said Friday following statements by Moscow and Kyiv after Russia withdrew from a key grain export deal.
DiCarlo said that Russia withdrawing from the grain deal,"coupled with its bombardment of crucial ports, will further compound the crisis." She said the U.N. would continue its efforts to allow Ukrainian and Russian grain, a key food source for the world, to reach global markets.
"We do not use grain as weaponized means of foreign policy or waging war," Ukraine's U.N. top diplomat told CBS News. Meanwhile, Russia said Friday that it understood the concerns African nations may have after Moscow left the grain deal, promising to ensure deliveries to countries in need.
