KYIV, Ukraine — Russian defense officials insisted Sunday that an airstrike on the Ukrainian port of Odesa hit only military targets, but the attack tested an agreement on resuming grain shipments that the two countries signed less than a day before the assault.
The Ukrainian military said the attack involved four cruise missiles, two of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses. Senior U.N. officials voiced hopes that the deal would end a months-long standoff that threatened food security around the globe. The Ukrainian military’s General Staff confirmed in its regular update that Russia was “conducting military operations to create conditions” for an assault on Bakhmut, while firing on surrounding settlements and battling Ukrainian defenders for control of a nearby thermal plant.
The ISW noted that open-source information on any progress by Ukrainian troops “will likely be limited and lag behind events.”
