Do you trust the AP as a news source? Or the other source of the other version?
I take all the current news from that region with a grain of salt.

“pics clearly show grain facilities were hit.”

This raises only one important question:

Why is freeper DownInFlames lying to us and telling us that he has seen pictures that show grain facilities were hit?

What is his motivation for lying to us?

Turkey says Russia denies targeting Odessa port
Al Mayadeen
July 23, 2022
"Turkey Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, confirmed that Moscow has denied carrying out any attack on the Ukrainian port of Odessa, only one day after Russia and Ukraine inked a deal to resume grain exports. 'The Russians told us that they had absolutely nothing to do with this attack and they were looking into the issue very closely,' Akar mentioned."

Eventually the RF will probably take Odessa, and they aren’t going to want any more infrastructure damaged than is necessary.

Just like they preserved Mariupol and Sievierodonetsk.

Two of the missiles were stopped by an air defense system. Of the other two, one reportedly hit an art museum.

The other hit the water next to a dock, here. Notice the grain silos nearby.

Grain facilities weren’t hit.The Russians only agreed to allow the grain out. The RF didn’t agree not to go after stored Harpoon missiles and other military targets. Eventually the RF will probably take Odessa, and they aren’t going to want any more infrastructure damaged than is necessary.

What bullshit. They DENIED doing this. Gee, what a shocker.

Oh, so the Russians DENIED what I said in my post? Not hardly, where do you think I got it?

Like all the Biden/NATO/WEF trolls and semi-senile elderly here, you know nothing, and you really can’t be bothered with the facts. Here is the statement straight from Intel Slava Z, which is an official RF source:

“The Russian Armed Forces destroyed a Ukrainian warship and a warehouse of US-supplied Harpoon missiles in the port of Odessa with high-precision missiles, the Russian Defense Ministry said.”

In the future, try to do some learning before you post.

They preserved as much as they could given that the UFA embedded itself among the civilian population. All of Mariupol apparently has access to water now, the cell towers work, and the port is open. Avostal is another matter, but the Azov NeoNazis holed up there.

So if they had intel as to what it was why not hit it before the agreement?

Say hi to Putin's prostate for me while you're up there.

It hurts to be egregiously and undeniably wrong, doesn’t it?

The Russians had their reasons, which are irrelevant to the fact that you had no idea what you were talking about.

LOL! You need a bigger tool. You keep waving that little one around like you know something.
