Ukraine restarts grain exports from its Black Sea ports under a deal brokered by Türkiye and UN aimed at easing global food shortages, but warns deliveries would suffer if Russia continues strikes, as fighting enters its 152nd day.
As the conflict enters its sixth month, there is no sign of a let-up in the fighting.

After five months of Russian attacks,
Ukraine will continue to do all it can to inflict as much damage
on its enemy as possible, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
“Even the occupiers admit we will win,” he said as he hailed
the upcoming day of Ukrainian statehood, July 28, a new annual
holiday that Zelenskyy announced in August last year. “We hear
it in their conversations all the time. In what they are telling
their relatives when they call them.”
Like every day in the last months, Zelenskyy said that
Ukraine was not letting up. “We do everything to inflict the
highest possible damage on the enemy and to gather for Ukraine
as much support as possible.”
He said Ukraine had an important week ahead, with the
holiday approaching in the midst of what he called a “cruel
war.” “But we will celebrate against all odds. Because Ukrainians
won’t be cowed.”
