Ukraine war situation report – day 141
July 14, 2022 - Ukraine, the UN and Turkey hailed progress at talks aiming to resume Black Sea grain exports blocked by Russia and ease the risk of starvation faced by millions, but an end to the war remained far off as heavy shelling continues, Reuters reports.
Turkey’s defence minister, Hulusi Akar, said both sides had agreed on ways to ensure the safety of shipping routes for grain ships.
He said the agreement would be signed next week, when more talks are set to be held in Turkey.
Despite the news of progress in grain talks, Russian shelling of several major Ukrainian cities has renewed overnight.
