"Russia's Aggression: Targeting Ukraine's Grain and Ports"

Russia continues to target Ukraine's grain export facilities, escalating tensions and threatening a global food crisis. The attacks on Ukraine's grain terminals followed Kyiv's defiance of Russia's naval blockade on its export ports. The UN warns that millions of people in poor countries are at risk of hunger and starvation due to the knock-on effect on food prices. Russia claims the attacks are revenge for a Ukrainian strike on a Russian-built bridge to Crimea and accuses Ukraine of using the sea corridor for "terrorist attacks." The attacks on grain infrastructure and shipping concerns have driven up wheat prices. Western leaders accuse Russia of seeking to loosen sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine.
