Russia attacks Odesa port a day after signing grain deal, Ukraine says (Washington Post) 

July 23, 2022


Washington Post, in an article writes, that Russian missiles hit the Black Sea port of Odesa on Saturday, imperiling a deal Moscow and Kyiv reached a day earlier to allow shipment of millions of tons of trapped grain and ease a global food crisis. In an email, senior research fellow David Laborde wrote, “The attack will mean that the economic operators will be extra cautious and will wait to see many days of suspended military operations before daring to operate ships in the area.” That doesn’t mean the deal signed Friday won’t hold, though. “An agreement like this one will take days if not weeks before being implemented, so a chaotic beginning does not mean the end of it.”
