Details: Nikolenko pointed out that Russia carried out a rocket attack on a terminal in the seaport of Mykolaiv rented by a Chinese corporation; as a result, 17,000 tonnes of sunflower oil, worth US$26 million, were destroyed. Another terminal owned by China is also under the threat of attacks.  

The spokesperson added that Ukraine constantly draws the attention of the international community to intentional destruction of agricultural terminals in Ukraine by Russia as part of the Kremlin’s strategy to undermine global food security.

Quote: "Attacks on a Chinese terminal in the port of Mykolaiv once again confirm the importance of intensifying efforts on the part of Beijing in order to stop Russia’s war against Ukraine. 

We are calling on the Chinese to demand that Moscow put an immediate stop to attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure in order to protect the property of Chinese enterprises as well."
