Russia bombarded the Ukrainian port of Odessa one day after the agreement on the exportation of grains

Ukraine informed this Saturday that Russian missiles attacked the port Odessa, una terminal clave del Mar Negroone day after Moscow and Kiev signed an agreement to resume exports blocked by the invasion.

“The enemy attacked the maritime port of Odessa with Kalibr cruiser missiles. Two of the missiles were shot down by air defenses. Dos impactaron en la infrastructure portuaria”, said Sergiy Bratchuk, representative of the region of Odessa, in a communique on social networks.

Al disparar misiles contra el puerto, Putin “escupió en la cara del secretario general de la UNO, Antonio Guterres, y del presidente Turco, Recep (Tayyip) Erdogan, que han hecho enormes esfuegos para alcansar este accordion”, said the spokesperson of the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Oleg Nikolenko. Si no se cumple el accordo, Rusia will assume “all the responsibility” to deepen the global food crisis”, he added.

This Saturday’s missile launches undermined the agreement that Kiev and Moscow had reached yesterday, after months of tough negotiations. The pact, which included Turkey and the UN sought to alleviate the global food crisis caused by the blockade of grain supplies in the Black Sea and was the first major agreement between the parties in conflict since the Russian invasion last February.

El pacto, de hecho, contempla un corredor marítimo para aliviar la crisis alimentaria desde tres puertos ucranianos, uno de ellos es justamenteen la ciudad bombardada este sábado, Odessa. Los otros dos puertos son el de Pivdennyi y Chornomorsk. Entre los tres hay alrededor de 22 million tons of trigo, maíz and other cereals stored in silos and blocked for Moscow.

“The Russian Federation has delayed less than 24 hours in bringing to trial, with the missile attacks on the territory of the port of Odessa, the agreements and the promises made to the UN and Turkey in the document signed yesterday in Istanbul”added Nikolenko.

This agreement should be a relief for the countries dependent on the Russian and Ukrainian markets, which represent 30% of the world trade in wheat.

La Ambassador of the United States in Kiev Affirmed that Moscú debe rendir cuentas por el “scandaloso ataque ruso contra la ciudad portuaria de Odessa” el sábado. “Es un escándalo. Russia will attack the port city of Odessa less than 24 hours after signing an agreement to allow the shipment of agricultural exports. The Kremlin continues to use food as a weapon. Rusia debe rendir cuentas”, condemned Bridget Brink.
