Kremlin: Black Sea grain deal has 'de facto ended'

MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Monday that the agreement on exporting Ukrainian grain had 'de facto ended' hours before it was due to expire, and that Moscow would return to the landmark agreement if its conditions were met.

The crucial deal, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey, is officially due to run out at the end of Monday. It allows Ukraine to ship out grain via the Black Sea.
