Russia said on Monday it had halted an unprecedented wartime agreement allowing grain to flow from Ukraine to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where hunger is a growing threat and soaring food prices have pushed more people into poverty. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced the suspension of the deal in a conference call with reporters, adding that Russia will return to the agreement after its demands are met. Peskov said, “When the part of the Black Sea Agreement related to Russia is implemented, Russia will immediately return to implementing the agreement.”
