Kuleba urges Africa and Asia to join the response against Russia's food terrorism
According to the statement of Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, on Twitter, countries in Africa and Asia should join the global response to Russia's food terrorism, which involves attacking Ukrainian grain storage facilities and obstructing exports.
He reminded that the aggressor country had attacked another Ukrainian grain depot overnight.
Kuleba noted that by holding 400 million people hostage, Russia seeks concessions.
"I urge all nations, particularly those in Africa and Asia who are most affected by rising food prices, to mount a united global response to food terrorism," the minister wrote.
Odesa and region shelling
Following the exit from the "grain deal," Russia has been launching nightly attacks on southern Ukraine. Invaders use various types of missiles and kamikaze drones to strike Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions. These hostile strikes have resulted in damages to ports and other infrastructure and the loss of lives and injuries to civilians.
Throughout the past week, Russian forces have targeted Odesa and its surrounding region's port infrastructure. Not only were the ports affected, but also residential buildings.
For instance, during yesterday's attack on Odesa, 22 people were injured, and one person was killed. The Transfiguration Cathedral (Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral) was also partially destroyed.
Last night, the invaders carried out a strike using "Shahed" on the Danube ports. The attack caused damage to the infrastructure, with three grain warehouses destroyed at the "Ren" port. Six people were also injured in the incident.
