Russia is now slamming Ukraine’s ports and grain storage facilities with cruise missiles, after pulling out of a Grain Deal that allowed food to be exported from Ukraine to the World. Not any more. It’s very possible this will lead to a major food famine in the months ahead since Ukraine provides much of the World’s grain.
Russian cruise missiles, flying low and hugging the terrain to dodge Ukrainian air defenses, destroyed farm storage buildings in the Odesa region early Friday, Ukrainian officials said, as the Kremlin’s forces expanded their targets following three days of bombardment of the region’s Black Sea port infrastructure.
Two missiles struck the storage facility, starting a fire, and while workers fought to put it out another missile hit, destroying farm and firefighting equipment, the southern Odesa region’s Gov. Oleh Kiper said.
The attack injured two people and destroyed 100 metric tons of peas and 20 metric tons of barley, according to Kiper.
