> US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said India and Türkiye have proposed ideas to restore grain shipments through the Black Sea, which has been disrupted by strikes in the Russia-Ukraine war. He said several countries have expressed willingness to contribute, and Washington is examining Türkiye's proposal while cautioning it would not resolve the broader conflict.
