More bodies found in Mariupol as global food crisis looms
14 Sept 04:20 Key points summarised by AI
- Workers in Russian-held Mariupol are recovering scores of bodies from destroyed buildings, with a mayoral aide describing an "endless caravan of death" and Ukrainian authorities estimating 21,000 civilian deaths during the siege.
- Fears of a global food crisis are escalating as Ukraine, a major grain exporter, cannot ship an estimated 22 million tons of grain due to a Russian blockade of its Black Sea ports, threatening food supplies in developing countries.
- Intense fighting continues for control of Sievierodonetsk, a key city in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, as Russian forces relentlessly bombard it with artillery and airstrikes in their campaign to capture the industrial heartland.
- While Russia expresses conditional support for a UN plan to resume grain shipments, European leaders accuse Moscow of "weaponizing food supplies" and causing the crisis by blocking Ukrainian exports, despite Western sanctions exempting food.
