Zelensky: Russia Unwilling to Halt Grain Ship Attacks in Black Sea

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed skepticism about Russia's willingness to halt attacks on grain ships in the Black Sea. The issue is a critical one for global agriculture markets, as Ukraine and Russia are major players.

Zelensky stated that Moscow wants to extend any deal to cover attacks on Russian refineries and pipelines, which he believes would give them an unfair advantage.

The Ukrainian President proposed a compromise in which Russia would allow food exports from Ukraine's ports without attacking civilian targets, but this was rejected by Moscow.
