Russian missile attacks damage Ukraine’s critical port facilities
Fox News ^ | July 19, 2023

Russia unleashed intense drone and missile attacks overnight Wednesday, damaging critical port infrastructure in southern Ukraine, including grain and oil terminals, and wounding at least 12 people, officials said.

The bombardment crippled significant parts of grain export facilities in Odesa and nearby Chornomorsk and destroyed 60,000 tons of grain, according to Ukraine’s Agriculture Ministry.

It came days after President Vladimir Putin pulled Russia out of its participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a wartime deal that enabled Ukraine’s exports to reach many countries facing the threat of hunger.

It also followed a vow by Putin to retaliate against Kyiv for an attack Monday on the crucial Kerch Bridge linking Russia with the Crimean Peninsula, which the Kremlin illegally annexed in 2014.

“Illegally annexed”? I always thought that was what war was all about, settling the law.

Expect the CIA to lob some missiles at our own troops once they arrive and make it look like Russia did it

In revenge for the attack on the illegal Kersh bridge, lil’ Putin punishes the world by destroying grain needed to feed hungry people.

A true genius.

Not a fan of Putin, but what did they think was going to happen. We are not even close to total war yet in this crap burger but it’s coming and will be shocking to many and quite predictable.

And Free Republic’s delegation of Putinistas (conveniently calling themselves Isolationists) couldn’t be more pleased.

"illegal Kersh bridge

An illegal bridge? Sounds scary. Did you check the legal status of the bridge with the UN Bridge Building Authority? Lol.

I can hear your "REEEEE" from a thousand miles away.

Has Putin died of cancer yet?
I was told Ukraine was just KILLING Russia.
I mean, it’s not even close.

Total annihilation.
Why Ukraine needs more money, military equipment, and possibly American soldiers to die for them, I don’t know. Maybe it’s for the huge victory parade and party they’re going to have after completely destroying Russia?

The grain deal was being used for other reasons like those that led to the Bridge attack. So the outcome really isn’t surprising whether anyone likes it or not.

So it was left to expire.
