The Russian occupiers damaged at least six grain storage facilities during the shelling of eastern Ukraine.
“Russia’s reckless damaging of these grain storage facilities is a clear-cut example of how Putin’s war directly affects civilians in Ukraine and threatens food security around the world.”
“With countries across Africa and the Middle East reliant on Ukrainian wheat exports, the destruction of these food stocks and storage facilities could result in shortages and drive up prices in already vulnerable economies,” the official said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin describes his country’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation” that aims to destroy Ukraine’s military infrastructure.
