Russia now says it’s “suspending participation” in the grain deal after a Ukrainian drone attack on its Black Sea Fleet, claiming it can no longer guarantee the safety of ships. Ukraine, unsurprisingly, says it’s a “false pretext” for Moscow to abandon a deal it didn’t like.

The Ukrainian army has now confirmed it was behind the attack, saying it is still working to establish how many people were killed. The attack sparked a lot of anger among Russian military bloggers and could be one of the deadliest attacks by Ukraine on Russian forces in the war.
Rare for battlefield casualties to be confirmed by Moscow. But Makiivka attack was so deadly that staying silent may not have been an option. Russian MOD says 63 Russian soldiers killed when "temporary deployment point" hit, it says, by Himars rockets fired by Ukrainian forces.
