Fighting in southern Ukraine continues relentlessly. According to the mayor, Russian troops are attacking the infrastructure of the Mykolaiv region port. The Odessa region is also being shelled. Meanwhile, the English secret service contradicts a Russian justification for an attack.
According to Ukrainian sources, Russia is continuing its attacks on the south of the country. Russian troops have attacked the infrastructure of the port of Mykolayiv region, the city's mayor Oleksandr Senkevich told Ukrainian state television. "A massive missile attack on southern Ukraine was launched from the direction of the Black Sea and using the Luftwaffe." He did not give details of the aftermath of the attack.
The Odessa region was also attacked again, said a spokesman for the military administration. A rocket that had come from the direction of the Black Sea had hit. He also did not name details such as possible victims.
According to Ukraine, Russia had already attacked the port facilities of Odessa on Saturday, breaking the agreement on the release of grain exports just one day after it was signed. Ukrainian ports have been blocked by the Russian Black Sea Fleet since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. In Odessa alone, around 20 million tons of grain are stuck in the silos. Ukraine is one of the world's largest grain exporters. With the agreement reached on Friday, three ports for export should be released again.
Russia has denied accusations of violating the agreement. Although it attacked Odessa, the target was military installations. A Ukrainian warship and missiles supplied by the United States were destroyed. According to Britain, however, there is no evidence that a Ukrainian warship or the missiles were in the port of Odessa on Sunday. The British Ministry of Defense has now announced this, citing secret services.
