MFA: Russia hits Chinese corporation’s terminal in Mykolaiv

The Russian Federation launched a missile attack on a terminal leased by a Chinese corporation, as a result of which 17,000 tonnes of sunflower oil were destroyed.

The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oleg Nikolenko announced this on Facebook, as reported by Ukrinform.

"The Russian Federation launched a missile attack on a terminal leased by a Chinese corporation in the Mykolaiv seaport, as a result of which 17,000 tonnes of sunflower oil worth $26 million were destroyed. Another terminal owned by China is under threat of attack," Nikolenko said.

According to the spokesperson, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs constantly draws the attention of the international community to the deliberate destruction by Russia of agricultural terminals in Ukraine as part of the Kremlin's strategy to undermine global food security.

"The shelling of the Chinese terminal in the port of Mykolaiv once again confirms the importance of intensifying efforts on the part of Beijing to end Russia's war against Ukraine. We call on the Chinese side to demand from Moscow an immediate end to attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure in order to protect, including the property of Chinese enterprises," urged Nikolenko.

As reported by Ukrinform, Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba stated that Russia's deliberate strikes on Ukraine's energy system should be considered as part of the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
