The barns were damaged due to the hypersonic missile attack. Russia has carried out repeated attacks on Odessa in recent months, targeting Ukraine’s grain infrastructure following the collapse of the Black Sea grain deal.

Since the start of the conflict, the country has demonstrated strong support for Kiev, providing a significant amount of aid, totaling no less than US$4.54 billion in arms, humanitarian aid and financial assistance.
