According to Moscow, the air strikes launched three days ago on the port of Odessa are aimed at destroying the Ukrainian naval drone fleet, and from the footage of the explosions it can be concluded that several fuel filling stations were also bombed, but at the same time. According to Kiev, the attacks destroyed the granaries stored there.
In his usual daily appraisal speech, President Zelensky said that Russia is destroying not only Ukraine’s infrastructure, but also grain reserves intended for poor countries, and talked about He repeatedly asked the Western allies to provide more air defense equipment to Ukraine.
The really interesting thing is said when the Head of State of Ukraine declares, 60,000 tons of wheat destined for China were destroyed during the Russian attacks. According to the Western view, Beijing secretly supports Russia and other authoritarian powers, and it is a fact that the relationship between the two superpowers seems to be deepening in the recent period, so If a Russian attack really destroys food intended for China, it could cause serious diplomatic problems.
However, it is worth highlighting this until the publication of our article Beijing did not respond to the Ukrainian announcement.
