> Ukraine said crop shipments through the Black Sea safe-passage corridor were suspended for a second day because no inspections took place in Istanbul, which Kyiv blamed on Russian obstruction. Poland, Hungary and Slovakia have also banned some Ukrainian grain imports, and Moscow has threatened to quit the deal if its demands are not met by mid-May.
