United States has provided Ukraine 16 Himars systems so far
This week four more arrived.The accuracy and long range of the missile systems provided by the West were allegedly intended to reduce
Russia's artillery advantage, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while welcoming the supplies, has been cited as saying that his
country's forces could not yet overcome Russian advantages in heavy guns and manpower.Russia has accused NATO of waging a "proxy war"
against it by arming Ukraine and imposing unprecedented sanctions on Moscow while trying to expand the United States -led military alliance
eastwards toward Russian borders triggering the conflict in the first place.United States President Joe Biden has said he wants Ukraine to
defeat Russia and has supplied military assistance to Kyiv to the tune of almost nine billion dollars now but American officials claim they

NATO isn't going to bring about a longer-term peace, [but it] will only bring about greater, greater strain and greater stress.""Then the
world woke up and suddenly realized that Russia and Ukraine are the world's biggest grain exporters and something has to be done
So they came to an agreement, and I hope it holds, to export grain through Odessa and through the Bosphorus to the rest of the world
That is a good move, but at the same time, putting more and more arms into Ukraine isn't going to bring about it [peace]."Corbyn continued,
Ukrainians are going into exile here; Thousands and thousands
And Russian soldiers are dying, conscripted
Young Russian soldiers are dying
This war is disastrous for the people of Ukraine, for the people of Russia, and for the safety and security of the whole world
unable to help negotiate a ceasefire.Corbyn also touched on the double standards of European policy toward refugees saying "Europe has been
very welcoming of Ukrainian refugees, and that's good, that's right
Sadly, they're not so welcoming and not so enabling of refugees coming from Yemen or anywhere else."Meanwhile, a July 22 UN-brokered deal to
unblock the export of Ukrainian grain has had initial success
Turkey said that the first loaded ship since Russia's military operation more than five months ago was safely anchored off the Turkish
coast.The vessel, the Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni was at the entrance of the Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Black Sea to world
markets, around 1800 GMT on Tuesday, some 36 hours after leaving the Ukrainian port of Odesa.Turkey's Defense Ministry says a delegation
from the Joint Coordination Centre (JCC) in Istanbul, where Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, and UN personnel work, is set to inspect the ship

He said there were about 27 ships in the three Ukrainian ports covered by the export deal that were ready to go.The exports from one of the
world's top grain producers are intended to help ease the global food crisis."Our goal now is to have an orderly schedule so when one ship
departure as "very positive" news
It rejected Western accusations of responsibility for the food crisis, saying Western sanctions have slowed its exports
the deal between Moscow and Kyiv to unblock grain exports may offer a way forward to a possible ceasefire."The good news is that the Kremlin
wants a negotiated solution," Schroeder told the media, adding he had met Putin in Moscow last week."A first success is the grain deal,
perhaps that can be slowly expanded to a ceasefire,"The ex-German chancellor added that solutions to crucial problems could be found over
time, "maybe not over 99 years, like Hong Kong, but in the next generation"
He said an alternative to NATO membership for Ukraine could be Kyiv being armed neutrality, like Austria.
