Russia says it is terminating the Black Sea grain deal, which expires today. The deal has allowed for the safe export of food and fertilizer from Ukrainian ports and was seen as essential in combating global food insecurity. Today’s announcement from Moscow came hours after the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia was shut down following early-morning explosions, which killed two people and injured a child, according to Russian officials. Kyiv did not take explicit responsibility, though Ukrainian officials told several media outlets their forces carried out the attack.

On the battlefield, Ukraine says it is gradually regaining control of more territory amid reports of intense fighting along the eastern front.
