SCHLOSS ELMAU, Germany — Canada pledged $50 million to prevent Ukrainian grain from going to waste on Sunday as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committed to work with G7 nations on further measures to halt the famine caused by the Russian invasion of the embattled country.

The fallout of the ongoing Russian offensive dominated the first day of talks among leaders of the world’s most developed economies, who are gathered in Germany for three days worth of meetings.
