Russia is attacking Ukraine’s Black Sea ports to choke its economy and boost Moscow’s leverage by inflicting pain on major grain importers in Africa and Asia.

Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. told NBC News the two countries signed an agreement last week so Ukrainian combat drones can be sent to the U.S. for military testing and evaluation.
