Ukraine is hosting an international summit aimed at boosting the Eastern European country's grain exports to ensure food security.
The Black Sea Grain Agreement brokered by the United Nations and Türkiye last year allows for safe exports of grain and other food from Ukrainian Black Sea ports.
Russia suspended its participation in the deal in July, saying that provisions on Russian food and fertilizer exports in the deal had not been implemented.
Russia has declared its readiness to return to the agreement as soon as the remaining parties fully comply with their commitments to Russia.
In August, Ukraine announced the creation of a “humanitarian corridor” along its western Black Sea coast, near Romania and Bulgaria, to clear the way for cargo ships stranded in its ports.
