> Russia suspended the deal on Saturday after what it said was a major Ukrainian drone attack on its naval fleet in annexed Crimea. Despite Moscow’s decision, cargo ships set sail carrying 354,500 tonnes of grain, the most dispatched in one day since the programme began in August.

The hilarious (and sad) thing is that Russia pulling out of the deal probably accelerated exports rather than restricting them. Russia was using the deal and inspection as a way to slow exports to a trickle; with no deal, Russia also has no grounds to stop or inspect vessels other than direct piracy, and that's presumably where Turkey would have something to say about it.
