The United States has been told that Russia is prepared to return to talks on a deal that had allowed the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine grain, but "we haven't seen any evidence of that yet," the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said on August 1.

She added that Washington had "seen indications that they might be interested in returning to discussions" but provided no further details. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
