Ukraine accuses Russia of attacking Odessa, the port that is key to resuming grain exports

“The Russian Federation took less than 24 hours to call into question, with the missile attacks on the territory of the port of Odessa, the agreements and the promises it made to the UN and Turkey in the document signed yesterday in Istanbul,” declared the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oleg Nikolenko.

By firing missiles at the port, Russian President Vladimir Putin “spit in the face of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Recep (Tayyip) Erdogan, who made enormous efforts to reach this agreement”Nikolenko said.

Russia will bear “full responsibility” if the deal fails, and for “deepening the global food crisis,” the spokesman added. This agreement should bring relief to countries dependent on the Russian and Ukrainian markets, which account for 30% of world wheat trade.
