The US Ambassador commented on the morning shelling of Odessa

Russian troops, ignoring yesterday's agreements on the "grain corridor", in the morning, July 23, launched a missile attack on the port in Odessa. At the same time, there was grain on its territory, which was prepared for export to other countries. The US Embassy condemned the attack.

Russia continues to use food as a weapon, US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said on Twitter .

She drew attention to the fact that Russia attacked the port of the city of Odessa less than 24 hours after the signing of an agreement to allow the export of agricultural products.

The Kremlin continues to use food as a weapon. Russia must be held accountable, the ambassador wrote.

Recall that the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy stated that when Russian missiles attacked the Odessa seaport on Saturday, July 23, grain was waiting to be sent there.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said that the rocket attack on the port of Odessa is a spit in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the face of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and UN Secretary General António Guterres, who personally contributed to the signing of an international agreement on the transportation of grain from Ukrainian ports.
