Ukraine has condemned Russia's latest attack on Odesa, saying Vladimir Putin has spat in the face of United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.
Kremlin forces struck the Black Sea port of Odesa with missiles on Saturday, just one day after Moscow and Kyiv struck a "life-saving" deal to secure the transit of grain through Black Sea routes.
The deal was brokered by the UN and Turkey and so Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said with the strikes, President Vladimir Putin of Russia had “spit in the face” of the United Nations secretary general, Antonio Guterres, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey after the two “expended enormous effort to reach this agreement.”
