- Kyiv says it has not yet reached any agreement with Russia or Turkey to allow the safe passage of its grain ships in the Black Sea, injecting skepticism into a push by the U.N. to create a vital food corridor.
- Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with his Turkish counterpart in Ankara on Wednesday
Ukraine's ministry of foreign affairs:
