❗️The Russians hit a ship with wheat for Egypt in the Black Sea with a missile, — Zelensky
According to available information, there were no victims. The strike was carried out after the vessel left Ukrainian territorial waters.
President Zelensky made the following statement:
"A Russian missile against a cargo of wheat for Egypt. Today's strike in the Black Sea was against an ordinary civilian vessel immediately after leaving Ukrainian territorial waters. According to preliminary data, fortunately, there were no casualties.
Ukraine is one of the key global donors of food security. The internal stability and life of dozens of countries in different parts of the world depends on the normal and smooth operation of our export food corridor.
Our food supply to countries in Africa and the Middle East region is 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 - the protection of life, and it should be a priority for every country as well.
We are waiting for the reaction of the world. Wheat and food security should never be a target for missiles."
"There was only enough food to stay alive": the story of Stanislav, who was in Russian captivity.
Stanislav was captured in the Kupiansk direction. Despite his wounds, he continued a close combat with the occupiers. Until the last moment, he hoped for an evacuation vehicle, but the Russians, unfortunately, got to him first.
Stanislav lost 22 kilograms in captivity. He recalls that prisoners were kept in cages.

Lithuania urges NATO to shoot down Russian drones entering Alliance territory, reports LRT.
Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas has called for changes to NATO’s air patrol mission in the Baltic states following the recent downing of a Russian military drone in Latvia.
“The air patrol should not only monitor, but also, when necessary, speed up NATO’s decision-making process so that planes can take off immediately and destroy drones,” Kasčiūnas said.
He emphasized that if radar detects a potential drone entering NATO territory, the information must be quickly relayed to NATO headquarters.
“The NATO headquarters evaluates whether the drone is an enemy craft or another aircraft that went off course, and then quickly decides to launch air patrols. This process needs to be faster,” Kasčiūnas explained.
When asked about Lithuania’s response if Russian drones violate its airspace, the Defense Minister stressed that any decision to shoot down a drone should be made collectively.
