Ukraine and Russia have signed deals which will allow Kyiv to resume exports of grain through the Black Sea.

The agreement will allow millions of tonnes of grain, currently trapped in Ukraine by the war, to be exported.

The deal took two months to reach and is set to last for 120 days with a co-ordination and monitoring centre to be established in Istanbul.

The world shortage of Ukrainian grain since Russia's 24 February invasion has left millions at risk of hunger.

Both sides attended the signing ceremony in Istanbul but did not sit at the same table.

Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu signed Moscow's deal first, followed by Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov signing Kyiv's identical agreement.
