Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday (13 June) that Russia was considering withdrawing from the Black Sea grain deal because the West had cheated Moscow by implementing none of the promises to get Russian agricultural goods to world markets.The deal, allowing Ukraine to resume seaborne grain exports, was brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in July last year to help tackle a global food crisis the UN said had been worsened by Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two.To convince Moscow to approve the pact, known by diplomats as the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a three-year accord was struck at the same time under which UN officials agreed to help Russia with its own food and fertilizer exports.But Putin said that had not been implemented due to the perfidy of the West."We are thinking about getting out of this grain deal now," Putin told a meeting of Russian war correspondents and military bloggers."Unfortunately, we were once again cheated - nothing was done i...Best of Portugal takes to Parc du Cinquentenaire for 9th edition

Some of Northern Virginia’s top prosecutors will face a pivotal challenge this June as they confront Democratic primary opponents who present themselves as superior reformers.Incumbents Steve Descano, Buta Biberaj and Parisa Dehghani-Tafti must convince Democratic voters that their first terms in office have delivered on the reformist pledges they campaigned on. They’re poised to address growing concerns about crime, allegations of mismanagement and a Democratic base galvanized by the overturning of Roe v. Wade a year ago.Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington, told The Associated Press he cautioned against drawing sweeping conclusions from the primaries, which make up a relatively small segment of the electorate.Still, he acknowledged that voters rejecting reform incumbents would be significant and serve as a “warning sign” for the broader Democratic Party.Virginia voter guide: 2023 primary electionRanked choic...Sasha Calle, first Latina to play Supergirl, teases new movie ‘The Flash’
