Ukraine's Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskyi is reportedly saying Russian strikes have destroyed roughly 90% of the country's modern goods-storage facilities. According to the report, Vysotskyi stressed there is no immediate threat of famine, but warned that continued Russian attacks on warehouses and logistics infrastructure could reduce the variety and availability of products on store shelves. The comments underscore the scale of damage Moscow's bombing campaign has inflicted on Ukraine's civilian economy and supply chains, even as officials seek to reassure the public that food security itself is not at risk. The report highlights the broader toll of Russia's war on Ukraine's infrastructure beyond the battlefield, as strikes increasingly target logistics and storage sites critical to keeping goods moving to consumers nationwide.
