Ukraine's Odesa port sustains damage from Russian attack, Zelenskiy says

Ukraine's ‌Odesa seaport sustained damage from an overnight Russian ​attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy ​said on Sunday, adding ⁠that eight people had ​been wounded in the ​city.

"In this way, the Russians are at war with the ​world's food security," ​he said. Odesa's seaports are the ‌main ⁠artery for Ukraine's vast agricultural exports.


Ukraine's energy ministry said Russia had attacked ​power ​facilities ⁠in the Odesa region, causing a "significant ​amount" of the ​port ⁠city's residents to lose electricity overnight.

It said power ⁠had ​already been restored ​to 90,000 consumers.
