Russian missiles target Odesa hours after deal to allow grain exports from port

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address on Friday that the agreements offer 'a chance to prevent a global catastrophe – a famine that could lead to political chaos in many countries of the world, in particular in the countries that help us'

Russian missiles have hit Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa, just hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals to allow grain exports to resume from the southern city.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denounced Saturday’s strike as “spit in the face” of Turkey and the United Nations, which brokered the agreements.
