Ukraine says more than 20 million tonnes of grain are trapped in the country due to Russia’s invasion, fuelling fears for a food crisis in parts of Africa and Asia and raising concerns over where Ukraine will store its next harvest.
Special team members exhume a body of a woman killed during shelling in the village of Mala Rogan near Kharkiv, Ukraine. The woman had been buried in the garden of her home during the Russian occupation of the area and is now to be laid to rest at a cemetery.

After talking to British prime minister Boris Johnson on Monday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said they discussed “ways to avoid the food crisis and unblock ports”, and London’s pledge to send powerful multiple-launch rocket systems to Kyiv.
Mr Putin has said such systems – only a handful of which are scheduled for delivery to Ukraine – will “in essence change nothing” on the battlefield, while also warning that Russia would strike new targets if Kyiv received longer-range weapons from its allies.
