Analysis: After a week of summitry and politicking, all eyes returned to the war after Ukraine attacked the Crimean Bridge.
Just hours after the strike, Kremlin officials announced they would no longer be participating in the U.N.-backed Black Sea grain deal —
a threat the Kremlin had been floating leading up to the deal’s Monday expiration. The pact, which freed Ukraine’s major agricultural exports, especially its wheat, from Russian blockade, is perhaps the most important diplomatic breakthrough achieved by the international community over the course of the conflict.
U.S. officials blasted Moscow for the move. “The result of Russia’s action today — weaponizing food, using it as a tool, as a weapon in its war against Ukraine — will be to make food harder to come by in places that desperately need it, and to make prices rise,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Washington. “The bottom line is, it’s unconscionable.
Though it did not receive a clear timeline for membership in NATO at a major summit last week, the Western military alliance’s governments rallied around Kyiv’s cause and promised significant long-term aid in its resistance of Russia’s invasion. Ukraine’s leaders have for months stressed that their main goal is the liberation of all their lost territory, including Crimea.
