Russia is preparing strikes on enterprises that store and process agricultural products in Ukraine. This is reported by "Ukrinform" with reference to a source in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
According to the source, among the possible targets are elevators, warehouses, and plants producing sunflower and other vegetable oils. Dairy plants and butter plants, meat processing plants, poultry farms, and other food enterprises are also under threat. Both Ukrainian companies and foreign companies operating in Ukraine could be attacked.
The agency's interlocutor says that Russia wants to inflict tangible damage on the Ukrainian economy, reduce foreign currency revenues, and undermine the country's food security.
