Russia Targets Odesa As Zelenskyy Warns Blockades Threaten Global Food Supply

Ukraine reports that Russia fired seven missiles at the crucial port city of Odesa, hitting a shopping center and warehouse. A security guard was killed in the attack. Though unscathed in the beginning of the war, the city is now being targeted nearly every day. President Zelenskyy warns the Russian blockade of ports like Odesa threatens the world’s food supply. Ukraine produces around 20 percent of the world’s high-grade wheat, now stuck in silos.

“Threaten global food supply” that is what happens when you have a war
Think twice next time when you want to be a war hero

The sad thing about this is there are rumors that Russia is shipping Ukraine grain back to Russia. The the article about stealing John deer farm equipment, apparently John deer has block the use of all the modern models so Russia gets zero benefits from these thiefts

If Odessa was so important to world food, why wouldn't UN protect it

[alostbard]

OMG no! Less food for a country with a population that is at least %40 obese and %20 overweight?! The horror!!

Russia has no issues not allowing resources exit that they would take for profit.

[patrickdayton]

The food supply is already a problem even before the war and the port been blocked for long time

Now he lost his temper
He should scolded Mr Putin

I suggest that the Ukrainians start returning the favor and rain down terror and chaos throughout I think it's obvious that Putin has his objectives toward Odessa, and next it would definitely be

[jacksonkariuki]

That blockade can only be ended in a negotiation table. You have no navy to unblock your port and no one will help you do it....
