LVIV, Ukraine, Aug 19, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - The United Nations wants to step up grain exports from Ukraine before winter, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday after talks with the Ukrainian and Turkish presidents in Lviv.

"We will do our best to scale up our operations to face... the coming winter," Guterres said, hailing a deal between Ukraine and Russia brokered by Turkey and the UN that has led to exports resuming this month.
