The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov threatened to scrap a landmark Grain Deal with Ukraine if obstacles to Moscow's exports remained. The deal, which allows Ukraine to export grain through a safe corridor in the Black Sea, has been in place since July but has not been fully implemented. Lavrov said that problems with the agreement are related to the secondary sanctions imposed on shipping and insurance companies as well as banks. Poland announced Friday that Ukrainian grain will be restricted following protests by farmers.
