The UN Secretary General says there is still much more to do to ensure global access to Ukrainian grain after a UN-brokered food export deal.

Antonio Guterres was speaking during a visit to the Ukrainian port of Odesa.

He added that global markets should have unimpeded access to Russian food and fertilisers which are not subject to sanctions.
