U.S. and European officials on Wednesday toured Ukraine's southern port of Izmail that's important in bringing Ukrainian grain to the world - and could become critical if a deal with Russia to allow grain exports from Ukrainian Black Sea ports expires.
From Izmail, which has been upgraded since the start of the war with the help of U.S. and other funding, grain is taken by barge down a branch of the Danube through Romania to its Black Sea port of Constanta for shipment onward.
Ukrainian grain supplies are critical to millions of people around the world, and Wednesday’s visit comes after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov again this week threatened to abandon the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey last July. China has offered to act as a mediator between Kyiv and Moscow, and in a statement on his website Zelenskyy’s office said he and Xi had “expressed joint support for the need for proper implementation and continuation” of the deal.
