The Russian army launched a missile attack on a bulk carrier carrying grain.
On Tuesday, September 12, the occupiers attacked a cargo ship in the Black Sea with a missile, which was delivering wheat to Egypt. The strike on the civilian vessel occurred immediately after it left the territorial waters of Ukraine. It is preliminary known that there were no casualties. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.
Ukraine is one of the key global donors of food security. Internal stability and the lives of dozens of countries in different parts of the world depend on the normal and unimpeded operation of our export food corridor, he emphasized.
The head of state noted that Ukrainian food supplies are critical to African countries and the Middle East. Zelensky added that Ukraine will continue to do everything to protect Ukrainian ports, the Black Sea and food supplies to the global market.
The president also expects a reaction from the world after this attack, because “wheat and food security should never be a target for missiles.”
Let us recall that in August, the National Resistance Center reported that the occupiers intend to increase the scale of Ukrainian grain exports from the temporarily occupied territories. To this end, the Russians plan to scale up the capacity of the Mariupol and Berdyansk seaports.
