Russia has expanded its attacks on Ukraine by targeting farm storage buildings in the Odesa region and implementing a Black Sea blockade. The attacks on port infrastructure and storage sites are seen as an effort to cripple Ukraine's food exports after Russia withdrew from a grain export deal. Both Russia and Ukraine have declared each other's Black Sea ports as potential military targets. Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister clarified that incoming vessels will be inspected to ensure they are not carrying military cargo. President Vladimir Putin has promised to provide free grain to poor African countries despite the termination of the grain deal.
