Overnight strikes killed at least three people, including one child, in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, Serhiy Lysak, head of the city's military administration said. Residential building and infrastructure were also damaged in the attack, he added.
Russia sees no grounds for the Black Sea grain deal to resume, Moscow's Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told reporters on Wednesday, as Russia and Ukraine continue to attack each other's grain export facilities.
"There was a deal ... But a substantial part of it was not implemented. Do you see any change in the West's position? I don't," Grushko told reporters on the sidelines of a forum in the Russian Far East port city of Vladivostok.
Türkiye and the United Nations helped mediate the Black Sea Grain Initiative which was agreed in July 2022 to allow the safe export of nearly 33 million metric tons of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea, despite the war.
Russia withdrew from the agreement in 2023, complaining that its own food and fertiliser exports faced serious obstacles.
Türkiye has prepared a new plan for the safe passage of grain via the Black Sea and has reached out to both countries.
Both Russia and Ukraine are major grain exporters and their mutual attacks, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, have contributed to the increase in global wheat prices.
Emergency service workers have extinguished a blaze that broke out in the town of Vyshneve in the Kyiv region following a drone strike overnight.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service said that two townhouses were destroyed in the attack.
No fatalities have been reported, according to the agency.
Three people have died, including a child, after a strike on the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa, Serhiy Lysak, head of the city's military administration, said on Telegram. Lysak added that residential buildings and infrastructure were also damaged in the attack.
