Russia attacked two Black Sea ports at night: grain terminals damaged

On the night of July 19, Russia attacked grain terminals in the ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk, causing damage to the traders' infrastructure.

This was reported by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery and Minister of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure Development.

«Russia continues to terrorize the world even after withdrawing from the Grain Initiative. Grain terminals and port infrastructure in the ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk have been attacked,» the minister wrote.

Kubrakov clarified that the grain infrastructure of international and Ukrainian traders and carriers Kernel, Viterra, and CMA CGM Group was damaged. Also, the night before, the port infrastructure involved in the grain corridor was attacked, and tanks and berths of the Odesa port were damaged.

«The attack on grain terminals is an act of aggression against the world. The goal of Russian terrorists is to destroy any way of supplying grain to world markets. The terrorist state is at war not only with Ukraine but also with the people of Africa and Asia, for whom this grain is a matter of survival. 

Grain and port infrastructure must be protected by the world. This is a guarantee, first and foremost, for the world's food security,» he summarized.
