Russian attacks
In recent weeks, Russian occupiers have intensified shelling of Ukraine, with the majority of attacks focused on southern regions, including ports.
As a result of these hostile attacks, port infrastructure, and grain storage facilities were damaged.
These strikes began immediately after Russia decided not to continue its participation in the "grain deal," which allowed Ukraine to export its food through the Black Sea.
