The next shipments of grain will be sent to countries particularly vulnerable, without Ukrainian agricultural imports
Russia's defence ministry's confirmed Moscow's resuming its participation in the Black Sea grain deal.
The Kremlin had suspended its involvement in it over the weekend, saying it couldn't guarantee the safety of civilian ships crossing the region because of an attack on its fleet there.
Russia said on Wednesday that it will resume its participation in the Black Sea grain initiative, a deal with Ukraine to enable vital agricultural exports from the country.
It said it had received assurances from Ukraine that it would not use the humanitarian maritime corridor for military purposes.
Russia had withdrawn from the deal, which was brokered by the U.N. and Turkey in July and seen as helping to ease global food shortages and price rises, after it accused Ukraine of attacking its Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol in Crimea last Saturday.
The deal will enable the shipment of millions of tonnes of Ukrainian grain through the waters to countries in desperate need of critical food supplies.
