Grain prices soar after Russia hits Ukraine’s Danube port FMTNews FMTWorld
Ukraine’s Danube ports accounted for around a quarter of grain exports before Russia pulled out of the Black Sea deal.
There were no reports of casualties, Odesa region governor Oleh Kiper wrote in a post on the Telegram messaging app. Ukraine’s prosecutor’s office released pictures showing a war crimes investigator outside a ruined building, and at least two damaged silos with wheat tumbling out. Russia has relentlessly attacked Ukrainian agricultural and port infrastructure for more than two weeks, since refusing to extend an agreement that had lifted its war-time blockade of Ukrainian ports last year.
“Russia is trying to cut Ukraine out of the future grain agreement and, most importantly, to strategically displace our country from the global food market,” he said. The United Nations has warned of a potential food crisis and hunger in the world’s poorest countries as a result of Russia’s decision to abandon the deal, brokered by the UN and Turkey.Kyiv has said it hopes ships will return anyway, but so far they have not done so.
