The main events in Ukraine
Russian occupation forces in Ukraine are using starvation tactics against civilians by targeting food supply lines, agricultural crops and water infrastructure, according to a team of lawyers helping Kiev investigate alleged war crimes in Ukraine. CNBC.
Investigators focused their efforts on the situation in the city of Chernihiv, which was under siege by Russian forces.
Catriona Murdoch, a lawyer who is a member of the team, described Chernihiv as “the tip of the iceberg in Putin’s calculated plan to terrorize, subjugate and kill the Ukrainian people.”
The Kremlin has previously denied that its forces are committing war crimes or deliberately targeting civilians and related critical infrastructure.
Meanwhile, global wheat prices fell on Thursday after Ukraine and Russia agreed to extend a deal that allows the grain to be exported through Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea.
“These agreements matter for global food security,” said António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations. “Ukrainian and Russian products feed the world,” he added.
The agreement, first signed in July 2022, was due to expire on Thursday, but Turkish and Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday that it would be extended by another two months. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also confirmed on Thursday that Moscow had agreed to the renewal, reports CNN.
Russia had previously threatened to withdraw from the deal, complaining about a related agreement with the UN to facilitate shipments of Russian grain and fertilizer.
