Summary:

  • Russian air strikes target grain facilities in Ukraine's port cities, disrupting the grain trade.
  • Ukraine's significant role as a grain supplier to African nations makes the attacks impactful on vulnerable communities.
  • The motives behind Russia's aggressive actions remain unclear, but it could be an attempt to force the international community's hand in resolving the conflict.

Russian air strikes have intensified as they target key grain supplies in Ukraine's port cities, causing significant harm to the region's grain trade. Recently, a grain warehouse in the port city of Rene was hit by drones, resulting in injuries and sparking concerns about the impact on global grain supplies.


The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated with Russia's relentless attacks on grain facilities in port cities. Ukraine, known as Europe's bread basket, plays a crucial role in supplying grain to African nations. President Putin's recent withdrawal from the grain deal with Ukraine has led to a series of aggressive actions against grain facilities, notably in Odessa and now in the port city of Rene, located near the border with NATO member Romania. These attacks have no military significance, leaving experts to believe that the primary aim is to disrupt the grain supplies.


The situation remains uncertain as the international community seeks to pressure Russia to reconsider its aggressive stance and extend the grain deal with Ukraine. The conflict is not only affecting regional stability but also has broader global implications, leading to increased grain demand and soaring prices that impact vulnerable communities worldwide.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
