Russia-Ukraine War, Wheat Peace Doesn’t Last a Day: Attack on the Port of Odessa

Tension between Ukraine and Russia is rising, with wheat the main victim. Russian troops launched a missile attack on the port of Odessa with Kalibr cruise missiles. Two missiles were shot down by Ukrainian air defense, while the other two hit port facilities. According to Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko, the attack allegedly resulted in casualties. In particular, the missile attack hit the port area where grain ready for export was stored after the agreement signed in Turkey between the two nations.

“We cannot quantify the amount of grain there was, because it is the Ministry of Infrastructure that takes care of the logistics. But we were already ready with the first shipments for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow”, explained a head of the press office of the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine. “The Russian missile is Vladimir Putin’s spitting in the face of UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Turkish President Recep Erdogan, who have gone to great lengths to reach an agreement, and to which Ukraine is grateful,” the statement said. reaction on Facebook from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. “It took less than 24 hours for the Russian Federation to launch a missile attack on the port of Odessa to question the agreements and promises made to the UN and Turkey in the document signed yesterday in Istanbul,” Nikolenko wrote in reference to the wheat deal.

UN Secretary General Guterres “unequivocally condemned” the attack on Odessa. “Yesterday, all parties made clear commitments on the global stage to ensure the safe movement of Ukrainian wheat and related products to global markets,” says Guterres’ office. “These products are absolutely necessary to tackle the global food crisis and alleviate the suffering of millions of people in need around the world. Full implementation by the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey is imperative”, concludes the UN number one.
