Milan, 5 Oct. (LaPresse) – ‘A horrific attack was carried out by two Russian drones against a civilian ship in neutral waters that was carrying maize and was owned by Turkey’. This was reported by the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a post on X, adding that “there were Azerbaijani and Indian nationals on board” and “at present, unfortunately, we know that the ship’s captain has been killed” and “efforts are still underway to ascertain the fate of another person”. “Eleven crew members were rescued, one of whom was injured,” explained the leader in Kyiv, adding: “Ukraine has repeatedly proposed concrete measures to ease tensions and ensure security in the Black Sea. Proposals to this effect have also been put forward by third countries. However, Russia continues to opt for terror and the sinking of civilian vessels rather than normal maritime navigation. Pressure must be brought to bear to restore global food security. And anyone who is genuinely committed to this goal must play their part.”
