Ukraine: What does Russia’s grain deal exit mean for the war? – BBC Newsnight

What is the latest from the war in Ukraine?

Russia dealt a major blow when they pulled out of the Ukraine grain deal and pummelled a depot in the Black Sea Port of Odessa, with the city itself coming under almost nightly attack.

Russian drones have also destroyed grain storage in Ukrainian ports on the River Danube. This puts the focus on Russia’s ability – militarily, economically and politically – to sustain its attack level.

Meanwhile Ukrainian forces claim to have made gains near the city of Bahkmut which was captured by the Russian army in May.

So what does the "battlefield" look like now? Newsnight’s Mark Urban explains.
