The deal, brokered by the UN, fell apart last week when Putin refused to ensure Ukraine’s grain supply due to his claims that the Navy helped Kyiv carry out a drone attack in the Black Sea.
Mr Cleverly addressed the Commons with a powerful statement expressing the UK’s continued support for President Zelensky and his forces.
He said: “The house will have noted Putin’s irresponsible talk about nuclear weapons, and absurd claim that Ukraine plans to detonate a radiological dirty bomb on its own territory.
“No other country is talking about nuclear use. No country is threatening Russia or President Putin.
“Putin is exacting vengeance for his military failures on the civilians of Ukraine by cutting off their power and water supply, and on the poorest people in the world by threatening their food supplies.
“Over 60 percent of the wheat exported under the Black Sea grain initiative has gone to low and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia, Yemen, and Afghanistan.
“It would be unconscionable for those lands to be made to suffer because of Putin’s setbacks on the battlefield in Ukraine.
“I urge Russia to stop impeding this vital initiative that is helping feed the hungry across the world and agree to its extension.”
Putin has been accused of making “increasingly desperate statements” as his armies continue to struggle to make progress in their invasion.
