However, Russia “hit the port infrastructure” in Odesa, which “suffered significant damage”, the southern defence forces said.Warehouses and a private house in the Odesa suburbs were damaged and caught fire, they added, “as a result of falling debris”.“Nevertheless, hitting grain deal-related infrastructure”, she said, was a Russian “priority”.
Russia and Ukraine are two major agricultural powers whose supplies are crucial for global food security.
