“It’s probably the most important thing I’ve been doing since I became Secretary General”, the UN’s @antonioguterres tells us in Istanbul where deal to resume grain exports from Ukraine was signed. It's a big gamble but urgently needed. Our report with @goktay @leedurant wburema
Amid fears of famine, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres tells us the deal to resume grain exports from #Ukraine is good for the world. He says it's "probably the most important thing he's been doing in his time as Sec Gen." With thanks to @goktay @leedurant @wburema

Sanctions against Russia are starting to have a real effect: for the first time since the Bolshevik revolution it has defaulted on its foreign sovereign bonds. Russia is now effectively cut off from the global financial system.
Retweeted by Orla Guerin Ukraine is losing a young generation - Semen Oblomey was 22 years old on June 13th - when he returned to Kyiv + got married on his birthday. Five days later he was killed defending #Severodonetsk. He fought with the Svoboda (Freedom) Battalion - a brotherhood of volunteers
"It is drenched in the blood of Ukraine’s defenders, of my brothers, and mine too ". Our report (from Friday) on Ukraine's retreat from #Severodonetsk, now fully under Russian control. With @colmonews @wburema @Bgdn_Klsnk @DariaSipigina. Thanks to Svoboda Volunteer Battalion.
