Twitter capture of Mikhail Podoliak, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine
On the 23rd (local time), the day following a four-party deal between Ukraine, Russia, the United Nations and Turkiye (Turkey) to export Ukrainian grains through the Black Sea was reached, Russian troops attacked Odessa, a major export port in southern Ukraine.
“Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles hit the infrastructure of the Ukrainian port of Odessa, and two others were shot down by air defenses,” the Ukrainian Operations Command in Southern Ukraine said in a telegram.
The attack took place the day following the previous day, when four parties, including Ukraine, Russia, the United Nations, and Turkiye, signed a deal to export grain through the Black Sea. Because of the war, between 20 and 25 million tons of Ukrainian wheat are tied up in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a telegram video: “This case proves that whatever Russia promises, they will find a way not to keep it.” “It took less than 24 hours for Russia to attack the port following the agreement was reached,” said Oleg Nicholenko, spokesman for Ukraine’s foreign ministry.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also issued a statement of condemnation through a spokesman on the same day, saying, “The full fulfillment of the promises made by Russia, Ukraine and Turkey is essential to alleviating the suffering of millions of people around the world who are suffering from food shortages.”
Russia said it had nothing to do with them, Archyde.com reported.
