Russia and Ukraine signed a deal on Friday to allow the export of millions of tons of grain amid the war between the two countries, said U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The deal was signed in Istanbul, Turkey, to allow Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea. It comes after months of negotiations between the two sides, which were mediated by the United Nations and Turkey.
