LIVE UPDATES: US House Republicans to Introduce Legislation for Audit on Ukraine Spending

Russia will insist that the West name those responsible for the missile incident in Poland, which resulted in the death of two people, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the military security and arms control talks in Vienna, said on Thursday.

"We, in turn, will insist that the names of those who fired the missile that killed Polish citizens, be disclosed… We will seek a truthful answer from our Polish colleagues and Western partners about not making empty unfounded allegations," Gavrilov told the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

Russia has received assurances from the UN that work to ensure the export of Russian food, grain and fertilizers will be finalized, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, commenting on the initiative's extension.

"There are assurances from the UN that the work will be finalized — to ensure the export of Russian food, grain and fertilizers. We state that this work of the UN has its results. There was a joint statement from the US, the UK and the EU talking about exemptions under the sanctions regime for Russian food and fertilizer exporters. This is an important advance in a positive way, and this work will be finalized in order to fully unlock all direct and indirect problems that stand in the way," Peskov told reporters.

"The text of the document provides for its automatic extension for another 120 days in the absence of objections from any of the parties. No such objections have been received," the ministry said.

The ministry added that the Russian side also allows the technical prolongation of the Black Sea Initiative without any changes in terms of timing and scope.

"Moscow has clearly and frankly emphasized and continues to emphasize the interconnected 'package' nature of the agreements on Ukrainian food and the effective implementation of the Russian-UN Memorandum on the normalization of domestic agricultural exports," the statement read.

Moscow believes that all issues concerning the obstacles to the supply of Russian fertilizers and food to global markets should be resolved in 120 days, and expects the UN Secretariat to fulfill its obligations in this regard, the ministry said.

"We note that after our repeated reminders, efforts began to be made to unblock about 300,000 tonnes of Russian fertilizers detained in EU ports, which Russia transfers free of charge to developing countries in need. Further delay in the implementation of these urgently needed supplies is unacceptable," the ministry said.

Russia will also prevent all attempts to use the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea for provocative military, the ministry concluded.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that the grain deal will be extended for another 120 days.

"As a result of the quadripartite negotiations held in Turkey, the Black Sea grain corridor agreement has been extended by 120 days from November 19, 2022, in accordance with the decision taken between Turkey, the United Nations, Russia and Ukraine," Erdogan tweeted.

On Tuesday evening, Polish media reported that two missiles had fallen on the country's territory, in the Lublin Voivodeship on the border with Ukraine. As a result of the incident, two people were reportedly killed. However, the Polish Foreign Ministry said that only one missile, allegedly Russian-made, had fallen on Poland's territory. At the time, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that Warsaw had no accurate information about the origin of the missile, but the next day he stated that it most likely belonged to Ukraine.

The participants of the grain deal agreed to extend the mechanism for another 120 days, a source familiar with the talks told Sputnik on Thursday.

"Yes, we agreed," the source said, answering a question about whether a decision had been made to extend the grain deal for another 120 days.

Explosions have hit enterprises and gas production facilities of Ukraine, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Thursday.

"So far, rockets are flying over Kiev. Now our gas production is being bombed, our enterprises in the Dnepr [River] are being bombed, Yuzhmash [machine building plant]," Shmyhal said, as quoted by Ukrainian news portal.

Despite the fact that some media reported on the resumption of the deal, negotiations on the grain deal are still ongoing.

A large-scale air alert has been issued throughout Ukraine, the online air raid warning map showed on Thursday.

Ukrainian media also reported that sounds of explosions were being heard in the city of Dnipropetrovsk. According to the Ukrainian military, a missile attack was carried out in the Odessa region.

At the same time, a water utility station stopped working due to a damaged power line in the Ukrainian city of Nikopol in the Dnepropetrovsk region, the regional administration said.

"The pumping station of the local water utility has been de-energized. More than 40,000 families were left without water," the head of the regional administration, Valentyn Reznichenko, said on Telegram.

According to him, more than 6,000 people were left without electricity. Maintenance crews are working to restore power.

Sanctions against Moscow have led to a 38% decrease in the export of Russian fertilizers to global markets from March to September year-on-year, Russian Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told Sputnik.

Despite the fact that the United States and the EU announced the withdrawal of Russian agricultural products, including fertilizers, from unilateral sanctions, in fact, Russian producers and suppliers continue to face issues with insurance, freight and making bank payments, the diplomat said.

"In specific terms, from March to September of this year, Russian fertilizer supplies to world markets decreased by 38% compared to the last year, and importing countries received a shortfall of 8 million tonnes of products, which is enough to produce 25 million tonnes of food to feed 105 million people," Vershinin said.

Ukraine is warning Western allies that it expects more Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure in the coming days and that it does not have enough components to restore heating and electricity supply, media reported, citing officials.

The newspaper's report, published on Wednesday, said that Ukraine had called on its US counterparts and more than half a dozen European countries to provide assistance in restoring its energy infrastructure and supplying components such as generators, pipes, and valves.

According to Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko, Ukraine's energy system was subjected on Tuesday to the most massive missile attack since the beginning of the Russian military operation in late February.

US President Joe Biden, commenting on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's remark denying that the missiles in Poland were Ukrainian, said that is not the evidence, the White House press pool said on Thursday.

"That's not the evidence," Biden said.

The grain deal, signed on July 22 by representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN, stipulates the export of Ukrainian grain, food and fertilizers across the Black Sea from three ports, including Odessa.
