On Thursday, September 12, Russians launched a strike in the Black Sea against a ship carrying grain from Ukraine to Egypt, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"A Russian missile against a cargo of wheat for Egypt. Today's strike in the Black Sea was against an ordinary civilian ship immediately after leaving Ukrainian territorial waters. According to preliminary data, fortunately, there were no casualties," Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel.

The President emphasized that Ukraine is one of the key global donors to food security.

"The internal stability and life of dozens of countries in different parts of the world depend on the normal and unimpeded operation of our export food corridor. Our food supplies to countries in Africa and the Middle East are critical. We will continue to do everything to protect our ports, our Black Sea and the supply of food to the global market. This is a real priority for Ukraine - protecting life, and this should be a priority for every country," he said.

"We are waiting for the world's reaction. Wheat and food security should never be a target for missiles," the president added.
