Ukraine accuses Russia of trying to create a food crisis

Ukraine has accused Russia of trying to create a food crisis after it attacked port infrastructure in the southern Odesa region.

At least two people were wounded in the attacks, Ukrainian officials said. It is not clear where exactly it was hit, but an official said the Rhine port was targeted.

The Danube River has become the main way for Ukraine to export its grain following the collapse of a deal brokered by the UN and Turkey.

"Russian terrorists continue to attack port infrastructure in the hope that they will be able to provoke a food crisis and famine in the world," the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, said on the Telegram messaging platform. 

"The main task for us and our partners today is to eliminate the ability of the Russian military-industrial complex to produce strike weapons against Ukraine. And to increase accountability for those who help the enemy to circumvent sanctions.” 

“It [the ability to manufacture weapons] cannot function without foreign components for weapons. After the destruction of the Russian military-industrial complex, the defeat of the Russian troops will be complete.

Talks draw near: The Russian attack on the port in the Odesa region came early Sunday, a day before Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are scheduled to meet in Sochi, Russia on the grain deal that has likely to be a theme.

The meeting comes after Russia's foreign minister said the country is ready to rejoin the Black Sea grain deal once it sees assurances that the promised benefits will be implemented. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has presented "a set of concrete proposals". / CNA
