The U.N. has worked to try and free up movement through the Black Sea as well as across Ukraine to move grain and fertilizer supplies from both Russia and Ukraine.

Guterres arrived late to the press conference, admitting that he had just spoken with Putin regarding the ongoing difficulty Moscow claims to face in exporting grains and other food supplies to the rest of the world – an issue that could lead to global famine if it remains unresolved.
"We had the opportunity to discuss the Black Sea Grain Initiative and its extension and expansion, possible expansion," Guterres explained. "There are, as you know, talks in relation to the possibility of ammonia, Russian ammonia exports through the Black Sea … in line with the methodology that is run by the JCC, the Joint Coordination Committee."
