Russian missile strike this weekend that destroyed a large grain storage terminal – Josep Borrell
The European Union’s High Representative, Josep Borrell, condemned a Russian missile strike this weekend that destroyed a large grain storage terminal in the southern port city of Mykolaiv.
“Another Russian missile strike contributing to the global food crisis. Russian forces have destroyed the second biggest grain terminal in #Ukraine, in #Mykolaiv,” Borrell said in a tweet Monday.
Images on social media Sunday showed the terminal engulfed in flames. Mykolaiv is close to some of Ukraine’s most fertile grain-producing regions.
Borrell said the strike was at odds with recent pledges by Russian President Vladimir Putin to offer safe passage through the Black Sea from Ukrainian ports for merchant shipping.
“The disinformation spread by Putin deflecting blame becomes ever more cynical,” he tweeted.
