Final Ship Leaves Ukrainian Port Before Grain Agreement Expires

The last ship left the Ukrainian port of Odessa this morning, Sunday, under an agreement allowing for the safe export of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea, mediated by the United Nations, just before the deadline for the agreement. Russia has not agreed to register any new vessels since June 27, and the agreement will expire tomorrow, Monday, unless Moscow agrees to extend it.
