Russia and Ukraine trade attacks on grain hubs, fueling fears over global food prices
Russia and Ukraine have struck each other's grain infrastructure, raising concerns about the impact on global food prices. Russia hit Ukraine's largest Danube grain port overnight, a day after Ukraine struck the Russian hub of Novorossiysk.
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged attacks on each other's grain facilities in recent days, raising concerns that the ongoing war could push up food prices worldwide.
Overnight, Russian forces struck Ukraine's largest grain shipment port on the Danube River, causing damage and sparking a fire. The port is considered a key hub for Ukraine's grain exports.
The strike came a day after Ukraine hit Novorossiysk, a major grain hub located in the Russian-controlled part of the Black Sea coast.
Concerns over food prices
Both countries are significant grain exporters on the global market, and attacks on their export infrastructure are stoking fears that disruptions to supply chains could drive up food prices internationally.
