Russia said on Wednesday it would resume participation in a deal to free up vital grain exports from war-torn Ukraine after suspending its involvement over the weekend in a move that had threatened to exacerbate hunger across the world.
The agreement, reached in July, created a protected sea transit corridor and was designed to alleviate global foodshortages, with Ukraine's customers including some of theworld's poorest countries. Developing nations such as Somalia and Eritrea also rely heavily on imports of wheat from Russia.
