Images released by the Ukrainian army on Saturday. They are supposed to show the extinguishing work after a Russian rocket attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odessa. The Russian Foreign Ministry had admitted the attack on Odessa. A warship was hit with high-precision missiles, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. In addition, missiles supplied by the USA were also destroyed. According to Ukraine, port facilities were hit. The government in Kyiv sees the contract on the resumption of grain deliveries in jeopardy. Grain exports are intended to curb the global rise in food prices. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack showed Moscow could not be trusted. After the Russian attack on Odessa, his economic advisor expects problems with the planned grain export. That will be difficult, explains Oleh Ustenko on television. Ukraine could export 60 million tons of grain over eight to nine months if the blockade of the Black Sea ports is actually lifted. However, if Russia does not comply with the agreement on the release of exports, it will take 20 to 24 months to transport the grain. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken strongly condemned the Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odessa. Russia is responsible for the worsening of the global food crisis, says Blinken. The attack undermined efforts by the UN, Turkey and Ukraine to get essential foodstuffs to world markets.
