As reported, on October 29, the Russian Federation announced its withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative due to the alleged attack on its Black Sea Fleet ship in Sevastopol Bay, accusing Ukraine and Great Britain of the attack.

Despite Russia's demarche, 12 ships with grain left Ukrainian ports the day before.

The Ukrainian and Turkish delegations and UN representatives in the Joint Coordination Center agreed that the movement of ships through the "grain corridor" would be suspended on November 2.
