A source in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR), quoted by the Kyiv Independent, said on Tuesday that “Russia is preparing attacks on Ukraine’s food industry facilities, including Ukrainian- and foreign-owned companies.” According to the source, Russian forces intend to target grain storage and processing facilities, as well as many other sites.
The source said that Moscow aims to undermine Ukraine’s food security and inflict significant economic damage.
“Russia also intends to accompany the attacks with an information campaign aimed at demoralizing Ukrainian society,” according to the source.
Russia is also expected to strike grain storage and processing facilities, including silos and grain warehouses, sunflower oil and other vegetable oil production facilities, dairy plants, meat processing plants, poultry farms, and other food industry enterprises.
The attacks aim to reduce Ukraine’s revenue from agricultural exports while increasing Russia’s share of global agricultural exports, particularly to countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
