KYIV/MOSCOW: Ukraine and Russia accused each other of lethal attacks on Sunday, as President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow was targeting global food security by striking Odesa’s seaport.
Three people were killed and 37 wounded in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, where a multi-story apartment block was hit, while authorities in Russia’s Belgorod said five were killed and 25 wounded by a Ukrainian drone attack.
Zelensky said Odesa’s seaport had been damaged by a strike. Local authorities said dozens of drones and missiles hit the southern seaside city, wounding a dozen people.
“In this way, the Russians are at war with the world’s food security,” Zelensky said. Odesa’s seaports are the artery for Ukraine’s vast agricultural exports.
He said Russia also hit nine other Ukrainian regions on Sunday.
