Russian missile attacks on Ukraine's Black Sea coast have destroyed 60,000 tonnes of grain and damaged storage infrastructure, officials say.

Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskyi said a "considerable amount" of export infrastructure was out of operation.

Odesa military spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk called it a "truly massive attack".

Russia struck the southern port cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv and further down the Black Sea coast in Chornomorsk.

Russian war commentators said the damage proved that Kyiv was unable to shoot down the majority of Russian missiles and drones.

Russia had called its initial attack on Odesa a "mass revenge strike" for an attack on the Russian-built bridge over the Kerch strait linking occupied Crimea to Russia.

Attacks invite retaliation so it's little surprise Russia has hit back. Kiev must have expected that when they launched their attack.

Some have suggested the was deliberately intended to force Russia to abandon the grain export deal and retaliate, hoping that harm done to NATO members and others would increase their military support for the war.

Having blown up the Nord Stream pipeline, destroyed the Kakhovka dam, intending to blow up the Zaporizhzhia NPP, planning to close Russian pipelines which cross Ukraine and supply Europe, it seems Zelensky will stop at nothing to force the west into World War III.

I can't say I blame him, that he won't settle for Ukraine merely being played as a pawn and cannon fodder in Biden's proxy war.
