Explosions were heard in Kiev on Monday, Ukrainian officials reported Russian missile strikes across the country, Russia blamed Kiev for an attack on its Black Sea fleet and pulled out of a deal to allow Ukrainian grain exports.
Both Russia and Ukraine are among the world’s largest food exporters, and a global food crisis erupted earlier this year after Russia blocked Ukrainian grain exports. Chicago wheat futures rose more than 5 percent on Monday after Russia announced it would end cooperation on grain exports.
“Another batch of Russian missiles hit critical infrastructure in Ukraine. “Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia is fighting with civilians,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
Lula da Silva re-elected as president of Brazil
Lula da Silva (Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva) has become the president of Brazil again. Twenty years after first winning the Brazilian presidency, leftist Lula da Silva defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in a tight election on Sunday, marking an about-face for the country after four years of far-right politics.
With more than 99% of the votes cast in the runoff, Lulu da Silva got 50.9% and Bolsonaro 49.1%, and the electoral commission said Lula da Silva’s victory was a mathematical certainty.
It was a stunning reversal for Lula da Silva, 77, who was jailed in 2018 in a corruption scandal that sidelined her from the 2018 election that brought Bolsonaro, a defender of conservative social values, to power.
