The U.N. says Russia targeted civilian infrastructure in strikes against Ukrainian grain ports this week.
U.N. officials condemned Russia's targeting of civilians on Friday, after Russia struck grain infrastructure in Ukrainian port cities with missiles and drones this week.
The strikes come after Russia unilaterally ended the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which was struck under U.N. supervision in 2022 to keep food supply lines open between Ukraine and markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In ending the deal, Russia says it aims to shore up its own crop exports — it wants to get out from under sanctions that are weighing on its agricultural sector.U.N. officials warned that Russia's cancellation of the grain deal could affect markets and hunger worldwide.One strike in Odesa this week destroyed 60,000 tons of grain that was awaiting export.
