In Moscow, Kremlin officials say Russia may withdraw from a Turkish and U.N.-brokered deal that has allowed for limited exports of fertilizers and grain from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. On Wednesday, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson suggested Russia may allow the deal to expire on November 19 unless Western powers lift sanctions on Russian agricultural exports. Russia has faced international condemnation for exacerbating a global food crisis at a time when the U.N. warns a record 345 million people face acute food insecurity.
