Zelensky's Warning: Putin's Aim for Global Catastrophe

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of seeking a "global catastrophe" after drones struck Ukraine's largest inland port, destroying thousands of tonnes of grain. The attack damaged almost 40,000 tons of grain destined for countries in Africa, China, and Israel. Zelensky warned that Russia aims to destroy global food stocks and create disruptions in supplies. The strike comes as Russia steps up efforts to prevent Ukraine from exporting grain, following President Putin's withdrawal from a Black Sea grain deal. Russia blames Western sanctions for the food crisis and demands their lifting before re-engaging in talks.
