The occupiers chose this port city as one of the main targets for airstrikes to try to disrupt the functioning of the sea corridor created by Ukraine after Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The permanent representative of Ukraine to the UN, Sergei Kislitsa, stated this at a meeting of the Security Council.
The Ukrainian permanent representative said that exports from Ukrainian Black Sea ports had actually reached pre-war levels. And the Russian Black Sea Fleet no longer dares to appear in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, let alone blockade the ports of Ukraine.
All that remains for Russia is to launch missiles, trying to intimidate Ukraine and our trading partners, Kislitsa noted and noted the importance of strengthening the air defense of ports.
Let us remind you that the Russian occupiers regularly attack Odessa and the Odessa region from the air – they launch various types of missiles and Shahed kamikaze drones.
In particular, on March 6, Russian troops launched a missile attack on Odessa, where at that time a meeting was to take place between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. A Russian missile exploded 500 meters from the leaders of the countries.
