'We demanded assurances and guarantees from the Ukrainian side that nothing like this would happen again, that the humanitarian corridors would not be used militarily,' said Putin during a video meeting with his coordination council. Putin added that should Russia pull out of the grain deal again, it would supply the equivalent volume of grain itself.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, confirmed Russia's compliance with the deal and the continued movement of grain shipments on Wednesday. Russia said last week that it had suspended its involvement, accusing Ukraine of abusing Black Sea corridors enabled by the deal by using them for military purposes, reigniting fears of rising food prices
