Russia has said it is suspending its participation in the agreement to ensure the continuation of Ukrainian grain exports — vital for food supplies to poor countries — linking the decision to a drone attack on Russian ships in occupied Crimea on Saturday morning.
The defence ministry announced the move, and it was also reported by the state news agency TASS.
"Taking into account the terrorist act carried out by the Kyiv regime with the participation of British experts against ships of the Black Sea fleet and civilian vessels involved in the security of grain corridors, Russia suspends its participation in the implementation of the agreement on exports of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports," the Russian defence ministry announced on Telegram.
The move comes a day after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged Russia and Ukraine to renew the deal that has seen more than nine million tons of grain exported from Ukraine and brought down global food prices.
Earlier on Saturday, the Russian military blamed Ukraine and Britain for what it called a massive drone attack on its Black Sea fleet in Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Moscow.

“...and Ukrainians are really only Russians who speak a regional dialect”
When did I say that?
Nothing prior to the invasion matters. If somebody decides to invade your home and start killing people does it matter if you ran your leaf blower while they were eating dinner two weeks earlier?
Does it matter what Darrell Brooks experienced in the ten years before he decided to drive through a Christmas parade? If people in Waukesha did not treat him the way he wanted to be treated, or did not support his preferred presidential candidate, or maybe even evicted him from his home is that a justification for his attack on the parade?
Anybody know in any detail (more than there was an attack and some ship got “hit”) what has the Russians so worked up?
I have to assume a fairly important asset was at least very badly damaged.
UK involvement was probably supplying those drone submersibles whose pics were being circulated recently?
Calling such a counterattack “terrorism” is just nonsense, nonsense that leads normal people to think everything else Russia says is nonsense too. Granted that lib pols in the US spew their own brand(s) of nonsense, but that’s getting a bit OT...
“This war is not about “denazification”, “desatanization”, biolabs, or NATO expansion.”
Sounds like you’re denying the above. Other than ‘desatanization’ (whatever the hell that means), you are making an ass of yourself if you deny the Nazi element there, the biolabs there, or the often-discussed NATO expansion regarding Ukraine.
You also sound like you have some connection to that ‘country’.
At this point that is exactly what is happening. Ukraine is steadily defeating Russia. Why do you think Russia is so powerful, they have shown the world that they are not.
One of the things we have all learned since February is that the US government's statements about the power of the Russian military have been mostly wrong. The Russian military is not anywhere near as powerful as the conventional wisdom said it was. And the Russian economy is about the size of Italy's, so your analogy would more accurately be Ukraine fighting against Italy.
“Are we the only 2 left that understand Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)?”
I think most of the others, at least those who aren’t directly in the money-flow regarding Ukraine, envision a world not dominated by the Neocons/Globalists as being no better than a post-nuclear war world, and I think this problem stems from the fact that Americans and Europeans simply are not taught just what nuclear weapons are, and what a nuclear war means.
It’s incredible, as there are plenty of YouTube videos from the 1950s and maps available that shows just what will become of the US in an exchange with Russia...yet, I guess, they’re not capable of absorbing that information.
“Nothing prior to the invasion matters.”
Life is so easy for a dog. No worries about tomorrow, or yesterday - just grab that piece of meat in front of you!
Please read the Putin’s article on the historical unity of the Ukrainians and Russians that I linked above. You will find it there.
Let me try to summarize the Russian talking points about the situation in Ukraine.
There, I made your first sentence more truthful. Your second sentence is just a sequence of lies copied from absurd Russian propaganda talking points. The rest is full of errors too.
Sorry Bob, but that's the Russian soldier in you talking. Most of us are not that uncivilized. Unfortunately for the Ukrainian civilians many Russian soldiers think just like you.
Civilized people know that history is not an excuse for violent attacks.
It is possible to think about more than one thing at a time you know. Many of us do that.
Life is so easy for a dog. No worries about tomorrow, or YESTERDAY* - just grab that piece of meat in front of you!
*no need to learn history, none whatsoever, for a dog.
“Please read the Putin’s article on the historical unity of the Ukrainians and Russians that I linked above. You will find it there.”
I don’t know who wrote the article, other than it wasn’t me, nor did I claim as much.
By the way, do you need me to link you to the Nazi element in Ukraine, or would you rather not know about it?
No proof, yet, that Ukraine made the alleged attacks.
And, there are several dozen ships that have been waiting to transit from the Med into the Black Sea, and then proceed to Ukraine, in order to collect the crops output.
That queue of ships has been in the news in Europe - with several governments and organizations awaiting word from Russia, that Russia would stick with the plan.
Nobody believe that except perhaps for you. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to re-establish a Russian empire and he wants Ukraine's natural resources and productivity.
Your argument might be better if it didn't rely on a false premise. Which countries would be in your list of "destroyed" countries?
“Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to re-establish a Russian empire and he wants Ukraine’s natural resources and productivity.”
Well, he’s now going to get his empire and the resources BECAUSE the Neocons would not answer the phone when he called, BEFORE Feb. 24.
Sorry, you side lost - should have know that Putin doesn’t bluff about Ukraine.
You mean like the ones in every college and university in the USA? That propaganda talking point has been used for a long time, but there is no evidence that the labs are anything other than the typical biological research labs found around the world.
“...the biolabs there. You mean like the ones in every college and university in the USA?”
Is that the talking point they’re now giving you guys regarding the Biolabs, after VICTORIA NEULAND expressed her concern over them - IN PUBLIC?
Nice try. Tell them it’s better to not even try to ‘normalize’ the Ukrainian Biolabs - we all learned what they’re capable of over the past 3 years.
