Ukraine has launched another long-range drone strike deep inside Russian territory, hitting a major Wildberries warehouse more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The attack is part of Kyiv's growing campaign targeting Russia's logistics infrastructure. According to reports, nearly 20 Wildberries facilities have been struck since mid-July.

Ukraine says the strikes are aimed at increasing the cost of Russia's war effort, while Moscow accuses Kyiv of targeting civilian infrastructure. At the same time, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian warehouses, Black Sea ports, and critical export infrastructure, raising concerns over global food supplies and escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania reach historic deal on grain exports

Amid skepticism that the recent Russian strike on Ukraine's port city of Odessa might jeopardize the un-brokered grain deal. Kyiv and the United Nations have now offered a fresh ray of hope saying that the export of grains could start within days.

Ukraine works to resume grain exports, should begin again within days

<p>Wheat prices fell on Friday as Ukraine and Russia negotiated an agreement to permit essential grain supplies to safely depart Black Sea ports, perhaps averting an impending global food crisis.

<p>Late in February, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the price of wheat soared by 70%, reaching a record high of more than $1,300 in the two weeks that followed. Together, the two nations export more wheat than any other nation in the world.</p>

<p>Early in the year, drought in important grain-growing areas, including the United States and Canada, threatened to further reduce the supply of wheat and other grains, placing millions of people at serious risk of becoming hungry.

Russia and Ukraine reach grain deal: Wheat prices drop to pre-war levels

<p>Russia and Ukraine today signed separate agreements in Istanbul with Turkey and the United Nations that would permit Russia to export grain and fertilisers and Ukraine to resume grain shipments to international markets, respectively.

Oleksandr Kubrakov, the infrastructure minister for Ukraine, Hulusi Akar, the defence minister for Turkey, and Antonio Guterres, the secretary general of the United Nations, all signed the paper.</p>

<p>The agreement to reopen Ukraine's Black Sea ports will free up millions of tonnes of grain that have been trapped in Ukrainian ports since Russia invaded on February 24. This will alleviate concerns about a possible worldwide food catastrophe that Russia's invasion has sparked.</p>
