The rocket strike by Russian terrorists on Odesa today, March 6, is not related to the visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the city, reports Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine.
"What is happening is that Russia is a terrorist, and it is obviously continuing attacks on the port infrastructure. So, there was a rocket strike on Odesa, presumably with ballistic weapons, hitting one of the buildings in the port infrastructure. But this is in no way related to any specific visit. It is related to the terror that the enemy is methodically conducting," says Humeniuk.
The spokesperson also reminds that Russia attacked the port infrastructure of Odesa both before the termination of the grain deal and afterward.
