Maafisa wa Urusi na Ukraine wametia saini makubaliano ya kuruhusu mauzo ya nafaka kutoka bandari ya Bahari Nyeusi ya Ukraine, yanayokusudia kupunguza tatizo la upungufu wa chakula duniani
Nchi hizo pamoja na nchi Jirani ni miongoni mwa wauzaji wakubwa wa chakula duniani, lakini vita vinavyoendelea vilisababisha kufungwa kwa bandari ya Bahari Nyeusi, na kukwamisha usafirishaji wa nafaka nje ya Ukraine

Russia, Ukraine sign UN-backed grain export deal
Agreement set to allow grain to be exported from Ukrainian Black Sea ports amid fears of a global food crisis.
Russian and Ukrainian officials have signed a deal to allow grain exports from Ukrainian Black Sea ports, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the agreement would help ease a global food crisis.
The neighbouring, warring countries are among the world’s biggest exporters of food, but Russia’s invasion led to a de-facto blockade of the Black Sea, resulting in Ukraine’s exports dropping to a sixth of their pre-war level.
Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu and Ukraine’s infrastructure minister, Oleksandr Kubrakov, signed the deal separately on Friday, carefully avoiding sitting at the same table and avoiding shaking hands.
The signing ceremony took place at Istanbul’s lavish Dolmabahce Palace in the presence of Erdogan and Guterres.
“Today, there is a beacon on the Black Sea. A beacon of hope [and] possibility … and relief in a world that needs it more than ever,” Guterres said, calling on Russia and Ukraine to fully implement the accord.
Friday’s deal means around $10bn worth of grain will be available for sale with roughly 20 million tonnes of last year’s harvest that can now be exported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The agreement is valid for 120 days and may be automatically renewed without further negotiations
