Ukraine Offers Russia Truce Proposal Amid Ongoing Black Sea Disruptions
A truce proposal has been made by Ukraine to Russia in an effort to stop attacks on civilian targets in the Black Sea. The move comes as concerns about global food supplies continue to grow due to disruptions caused by ship and port strikes.
Russia and Ukraine are both major players in global agriculture, with both countries accusing each other of increasing attacks on vessels used for transporting exports.
The situation has already had a significant impact on shipping, with many shipowners opting not to call at ports in Ukraine's southern Odesa region after Russian strikes hit dozens of ships.
Ukraine is now waiting for Russia's response to its proposal as attacks on ships and port infrastructure continue to affect grain shipments in the Black Sea.
