Russian drones struck a town on the Danube River in southern Ukraine, destroying a grain hangar. The drones struck less than 1,000 feet from Ukraine’s border with Romania, a NATO member nation that the U.S. and others in the military alliance have vowed to defend. The attack suggests the Kremlin is targeting sites that provide an alternative route for Ukraine to export food and fertilizer, after Russia pulled out of a deal allowing Ukraine to ship its grain across the Black Sea. This follows attacks Sunday on the Ukrainian Black Sea port city of Odesa that killed one person, injured 19 and damaged an Orthodox cathedral that’s listed as a World Heritage Site. This is a survivor of the assault.
Survivor: “My child was enrolled here. We regularly attended the cathedral’s services. The priests here are wonderful. People need to stop being so cruel.”
