Russian drones struck Ukrainian grain facilities at the Danube River port of Izmail as Russia continues to try to stop grain exports from the Ukraine.
That is having a devastating impact on poor nations and people who have relied on grain from the Ukraine..
Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said the port's export capacity had been reduced by 15 per cent and that 13,000 metric tons of grain had been destroyed.
Grain facilities in the Odesa region on the Black Sea also came under fire in the eighth wave of attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure since Russia quit a UN-brokered deal last month that had allowed Kyiv to ship its grain via the Black Sea.
The Danube River has become Ukraine's main route for exporting grain since the collapse of the deal, which was meant to help tackle a global food crisis, and Izmail is Ukraine's main inland port across the Danube from Romania.
Kubrakov said the grain that was destroyed had been destined for Egypt and Romania, and that a total of 270,000 tons of grain had now been destroyed in attacks since Russia quit the Black Sea grain deal.
