Russian Port Attacks Will Cause 'Huge Food Crisis,' Says EU

- Massive attacks on Russian port and infrastructure causing civilian casualties and grain storage destruction.

- Council to address the situation in talks with Kuleba.

- Predicted impact on global food crisis due to disrupted sea routes for grain export.

Third Night of Barbaric Attacks Raises Concerns

It is the third night that massive aerial attacks against the Russian port and its infrastructure have resulted not only in civilian casualties but also inflicted significant damage to the grain storage facilities. The European Union (EU) has strongly condemned these barbaric actions and is taking the matter into consideration for discussion in today's council meeting with Kuleba, likely to impose consequences on the perpetrators.

According to available information, the repercussions of these attacks are expected to extend beyond the region. The destruction of the grain storage facilities is predicted to trigger a massive food crisis worldwide. With the sea route for grain exports potentially closed, alternative measures must be taken to handle the situation, putting an additional burden on Ukraine, one of the major grain exporters. EU member states are urged to increase their engagement and support in this crisis, necessitating the facilitation of transportation and the opening of borders to efficiently transport Ukrainian grain from Black Sea ports.

"We have done a lot. We have to do more," says an EU representative, highlighting the urgency of the situation and the collective effort required to address the impending food crisis.
