July 25, 2022 - Ukraine forged ahead with efforts to restart grain exports from its Black Sea ports under a deal with Moscow but warned deliveries would suffer if a Russian missile strike on Odesa was a sign of more to come, Reuters reports.
The Ukrainian military said two Kalibr missiles fired from Russian warships hit the area of a pumping station at the port and two others were shot down by air defence forces.
Russia said on Sunday its forces had hit a Ukrainian warship and a weapons store in Odesa with precision missiles.
The deal signed by Moscow and Kyiv on Friday was hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough that would help curb soaring global food prices by restoring Ukrainian grain shipments to pre-war levels of 5 million tonnes a month.
