  • •Food security is highlighted as a potential area for diplomatic progress.
  • •Ongoing attacks on shipping have severely disrupted grain exports, raising global prices.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed potential mediation by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to establish food corridors in the Black Sea, amid ongoing Russian opposition. The talks occurred before trilateral discussions with Washington and Moscow scheduled for Nov. 10-11, 2026. Zelensky emphasized the importance of food security and urged India to identify actionable steps to facilitate peace. Despite India's willingness to mediate, Russia has consistently rejected proposals to revive a grain deal, exacerbating global food supply issues. Attacks on shipping and port facilities have led to significant disruptions, pushing wheat prices to a three-year high. Ukraine anticipates that 30 million tons of agricultural products will remain unexported this season due to the conflict. The situation remains as diplomatic efforts continue.
