UN general secretary announces Ukraine grain exports can continue in ceremony in Turkey

Russia and Ukraine signed a key agreement to allow grain shipments to resume through the Black Sea, on Friday.
UN secretary general Antonio Guterres and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan oversaw the signing of an agreement that would allow Ukraine to resume its shipments and Russia to export grain and fertilizers — potentially ending a standoff that has threatened world food security.
Speaking after the agreement was signed in Istanbul, President Erdogan said the deal would “prevent billions of people from facing famine”.
Mr Guterres called the accord a “beacon of hope”.
