A Russian missile against a cargo of wheat for Egypt. Today's strike in the Black Sea was against an ordinary civilian vessel immediately after leaving Ukrainian territorial waters. According to preliminary data, fortunately, 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 depends on the normal and smooth operation of our export food corridor.

Our food supply to countries in Africa and the Middle East region is critical. We will continue to do everything to protect our ports, our Black Sea and the supply of food to the global market. This is a real priority for Ukraine - the protection of life, and it should be a priority for every country as well.

We are waiting for the reaction of the world. Wheat and food security should never be a target for missiles.

I'm no expert on international maritime law by ANY means, but how is this not an act of war against Egypt by Russia?

it wasn't actually an Egyptian ship, it was just headed for Egypt.
