Russian missiles hit Ukraine\u0027s Black Sea port of Odesa just hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals to allow grain exports to resume.
Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles hit the port’s infrastructure and Ukrainian air defences brought down two others, the Ukrainian military’s Southern Command said. Odesa regional governor Maksym Marchenko said an unspecified number of people were injured in the attack.
It was not clear how Saturday’s Russian airstrikes would affect the plan to resume shipping Ukrainian grain by sea in safe corridors out of three Ukrainian Black Sea ports: Odesa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny. Ukraine and Russia signed identical deals Friday with the U.N. and Turkey in Istanbul backing the plan, which Guterres hailed as “a beacon of hope” for a world in which food prices are rising rapidly.
“When we get an agreement to help with , he blows it up within 24 hours,” US House Armed Services Committee chairman Rep. Adam Smith told AP, referring to Putin, while on a bipartisan congressional visit to Kyiv. “What Russia is doing here is jeopardizing peace, food security and economic security globally.”
In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces at a checkpoint are blocking 1,200 vehicles carrying people fleeing the area and four people have died after being stranded there for days amid high heat, said Ivan Fedorov, mayor of the city of Melitopol, which is now under Russian control.
