Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Russia for carrying out a missile attack on Ukraine’s Odesa port on Saturday, calling it an act of blatant “barbarism”, and cast doubts over whether Moscow would honour a freshly signed grain deal critical to the mounting global food crisis.
“Today’s Russian missile attack on Odesa, on our port, is a cynical one, and it was also a blow to the political positions of Russia itself,” the Ukrainian president said in his nightly address late on Saturday. “If anyone in the world could still say that some kind of dialogue with Russia, some kind of agreements are needed, see what is happening.”
