Erdogan: Determined to go on with Ukraine grain deal

Turkish President RecepTayyip Erdogan said Monday his country was determined to "serve humanity" and press forward with a U.N. and Turkish-brokered gain deal that allowed more than 9 million tons of grain to be exported from Ukraine.

Russia announced on Saturday that it was suspending the implementation of the deal citing an alleged Ukrainian attack against Russia's Black Sea Fleet ships. Ukraine denied the attack.
