Today, Russia attacked a civilian ship with wheat cargo in the Black Sea immediately after it left Ukrainian territorial waters. According to preliminary data, there were no casualties.

" Ukraine is one of the key global donors of food security. The internal stability and life of dozens of countries in different parts of the world depend on the normal and unhindered operation of our export food corridor. We will continue to do everything possible to protect our ports, our Black Sea and supply food to the global market,” president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Ukraine will immediately notify the United Nations and inform the International Maritime Organization about this crime and expect a tough and decisive reaction from its partners.
