Ukraine war: Explosions rock Ukrainian port hours after grain deal

Explosions have rocked a key Ukrainian port just a day after Kyiv and Moscow reached a landmark deal to allow the resumption of grain exports.

Two missiles hit the port city of Odesa in the early hours of Saturday morning, Ukraine’s military said.

Blaming Russia, Ukraine’s air force chief said grain stores at the port were deliberately targeted.

Under the terms of Friday’s deal, Russia agreed not to target ports while grain shipments are in transit.

In a post to social media, the Ukrainian military’s southern command centre said two Kalibr missiles hit the port, while two more were shot down by air defence systems.

Oleksiy Honcharenko, a local MP, wrote on Telegram that the city’s port had caught fire after the strike.

“These scumbags sign contracts with one hand and direct missiles with the other,” Mr Honcharenko wrote.

It is unclear whether there were casualties or substantial damage.

On Friday, officials from Kyiv and Moscow signed a deal to allow millions of tonnes of grain trapped in Ukraine to be exported.

The agreement was hailed as a “beacon of hope” by the UN after months of fighting.

The deal – which took two months to reach – is set to last for 120 days, with a co-ordination and monitoring centre to be established in Istanbul, staffed by UN, Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian officials. It can be renewed if both parties agree.

In the latest fighting on the ground, British defence officials said Russian troops in the Kherson region risk being cut off from their supply lines by Ukrainian forces.

A large counteroffensive has been launched by Kyiv in the south of the country and its forces have used new long-range US supplied missile systems to target the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson.

If the bridge were to be destroyed, Russian supply lines would be severely stretched.

Is Russia trying to wreck the deal?

This attack on Odesa raises a number of questions. If, as most people assume, it was launched by Russia, what were the targets and what was the message?

Coming so soon after Russia and Ukraine signed documents agreeing to abide by the terms of an agreement to facilitate the export of grain from Odesa and its satellite ports, it’s tempting to see it as an attempt by Moscow to wreck it, or at least set the terms.

But that seems to run counter to yesterday’s statement by Moscow’s Defence Minister, Sergei Shoigu, that Russia’s responsibilities were clearly set out.

The text of the document signed by Russia in Istanbul has yet to be made public. UN officials say it’s identical to the one signed by Ukraine.

It says the parties “will not undertake any attacks against merchant vessels….and port facilities engaged in this initiative”.
