UN chief Antonio Guterres has cast doubt on the effectiveness of Russia's offer to distribute free grain to six African countries. Putin told a summit with African leaders that Russia would replace Ukrainian exports by supplying free grain to compensate for the Black Sea shipping deal that fell apart last week.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Thursday that a "handful of donations to some countries" won't correct the dramatic impact of the end of a deal that had allowed the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine grain for the past year.
