MOSCOW, Russia - President Vladimir Putin said Monday that Russia was"open" to talks on restoring the landmark Black Sea grain export deal, hours after Moscow pounded one of Ukraine's key grain-exporting ports overnight.The UN and Turkey-brokered deal, which aimed to ensure safe navigation for civilian ships through the Black Sea, collapsed after Russia pulled out in July.
"I know you intend to raise the issue of the grain deal. We are open to negotiations on this issue," Putin said in televised comments alongside Erdogan.Ukraine's foreign ministry claimed Monday that some of the drones in the attack had fallen on Romanian territory, although Bucharest"categorically" denied the claim.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov meanwhile announced on Monday he had handed in his resignation to parliament after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for"new approaches" to face Russia's offensive. His departure comes during a highly-scrutinised Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south and east of the country, which officials said Monday had made limited progress.
The ministry said the boats were"travelling in the direction of Cape Tarkhankut on the Crimean coast", without providing further details.
