Kremlin Threatens to Withdraw from Grain Export Deal Amid Global Food Insecurity Crisis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
