According to Zakharova, the missiles destroyed a Ukrainian “military vessel”. She did not provide clarifications or evidence for her statements.
Moscow contradicts. The representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, claimed today that Russian forces hit a Ukrainian military vessel in the port of Odessa, Ukraine, with high-precision missiles.
“Volodymyr Zelensky called the bombing of the port of Odessa ‘blatant Russian barbarity.’ “If anyone else could say that some kind of dialogue with Russia is needed, look what happens. The Kalibr missiles have destroyed the very possibility of such statements.” Kalibr missiles destroyed the military infrastructure of the port of Odessa, sending a Ukrainian military vessel to the favorite address of the Kiev regime with a high-precision strike” wrote Maria Zakharova on her account in the Telegram application, responding to the statement of the Ukrainian president.
Zakharova did not provide clarifications or evidence for her statements that a military vessel was destroyed.
Another explanation from Moscow to Ankara
Yesterday, however, Russia had told Turkey that he had not been involved in the blows these: “The Russians told us that they have absolutely nothing to do with this attack and that they are looking into the matter very closely,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.
After the strikes in Odesa, yesterday Saturday, Ukraine accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “spitting in the faces” of the UN and Turkey and jeopardizing the implementation of the agreement signed a day earlier to resume grain exports that have blocked in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea because of the war.
According to Kyiv, two missiles hit the Odesa port area and two others were shot down by anti-aircraft defense systems before reaching their target.
The agreement signed on Friday in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine mainly provides for the establishment of “secured corridors” for the passage of commercial ships in the Black Sea, which Moscow and Kyiv pledge “not to attack”, according to an official of the United States.
Expected to allow export 20 to 25 million tons of grain stranded in Ukraine and thereby limit the risk of a global food crisis.
