Ukraine: First grain ship in Russia deal ready to sail

World Business Report

Available for over a year

President Volodymyr Zelensky says the first grain ship from Ukraine since Russia's invasion is ready and waiting for the signal to leave the port. Mr Zelensky was speaking during a visit to the port of Chornomorsk, a week after a UN-led agreement to resume export, but this will be more of a testing of the waters than an unblocking of a major supply route. And Instagram says it is pausing a rollout of new features on its app following an online backlash from users, including celebrities and influencers. Plus why Europe's biggest economy - Germany has grounded to a halt, despite significant growth in France and Spain. (President Zelensky made an unexpected visit to the port.
