The U.N. and Turkey brokered the Black Sea Grain Initiative in July last year to help ease a global food crisis and spiking food prices exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.
The crisis worsened with Russia's naval blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports — preventing key Ukrainian exports such as wheat and sunflower oil from reaching world markets.
Russia, in turn, complained that Ukraine had heavily mined the waters of the Black Sea, making trade and transit impossible."
