‘He simply cannot be trusted:’ World leaders slam Putin’s attack on Odesa following sea corridor deal

Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs the supervisory board meeting of the presidential forum “Russia - Land of Opportunity” at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia April 20, 2022.

A U.N. brokered deal that secured a sea corridor for grains and other foodstuff exports was condemned by world leaders immediately after the Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian port.

The agreement to reopen three Ukrainian ports was signed by representatives from the U.N., Turkey, Russia and Ukraine.

The deal was signed in Istanbul and is expected to be implemented in the next few weeks.

Another anxious turn in futile efforts to mitigate a mounting global food crisis was illustrated by the strike on Odesa.

A general view shows a fire engine at a scene of a burning building after a shelling, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues in a location given as Odesa, Ukraine in this picture obtained from social media released on July 19, 2022.

On the heels of the attack, an adviser to the Ukrainian president called Russia worthless.

The ink has not had time to dry out, yet there are two vile provocations: attack on a seaport in Odesa and a statement by Russia's Defense Ministry.

Zelenskyy said that the territory of Odesa and the port were struck before the grain terminals opened.

Adam Smith said that Russian President Putin violated the spirit of the agreement with more missile strikes.

Smith said in a statement that he cannot be trusted.

The missile strike on the port was condemned by the secretary-general.

The U.N. chief wrote that full implementation of the deal was important.

The EU foreign policy chief called Russia's missile strike on Odesa "reprehensible"

It is reprehensible that Russia struck a target crucial for grain export a day after Istanbul agreements were signed.

The missile strikes on Odesa were slammed by a Spanish celebrity chef who brought his humanitarian organization to Ukranian to alleviate the food crisis.

The grain that needs to be exported is being attacked. What's the reason? The founder of the World Central Kitchen wrote "stop please and let's feed the world"

The missile strikes were all you need to know about the deals with Russia, according to the prime minister.

The port of Odesa was hit by missiles today. All you need to know is that. She wrote that the world needed to help the Ukrainians fight the invaders.
