Since the beginning of the operation of the export corridor in the Black Sea, 321 infrastructure objects have been damaged in Ukrainian ports as a result of Russian attacks. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, spoke about this during the 3rd International Conference on Food Security Grain from Ukraine ("Grain from Ukraine").
"During the operation of the export food corridor in the Black Sea, from July last year to this month, 321 objects of the infrastructure of our ports were damaged by Russian missiles and Iranian drones. More than 20 ordinary civilian ships were hit and damaged — and we are talking about ships of other countries, not Ukrainian ones. The enemy has struck more than 60 targeted strikes on the food infrastructure," Volodymyr Zelenskyi said.
He noted that it is important for Ukraine to remind about food security in these days, when the memory of the victims of large-scale and artificial famine in Ukraine is commemorated, primarily the Holodomor of 1932-1933, which was organized by the then authorities in Moscow.
As previously reported, the Russian Federation damaged almost 300 port infrastructure facilities in three months.
