Russia ends wheat deal after Ukrainian drones attack its fleet (VIDEO)
Russia suspended its participation in the Ukraine grain export agreement after a swarm of drones targeted at least one Russian Black Sea navy warship.
Following the attack, Moscow immediately suspended its accession to the agreement, known as the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which was formed and launched in July and ended a five-month Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports. The United Nations and Turkey brokered the deal, allowing safe passage for cargo ships entering and leaving Ukrainian ports to transport agricultural products around the world. The agreement expired on November 19.
According to Reuters, here's what the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement about the "massive" drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol:
"Taking into account … the terrorist act carried out by the Kiev regime with the participation of British experts against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and the civilian ships committed to guaranteeing the safety of the" grain corridor ", the Russian side suspends participation in the 'implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports, ”the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said Saturday's drone strikes were largely repelled, with minor damage to a Russian minesweeper. In reality, it seems to have gone a little differently: in fact, videos have emerged, probably made public by the Ukrainian special forces (trained by the English SBS, obviously) that also show a frig of the Admiral Makarov class hit by drones.

These events happen in war and, frankly, it seems ridiculous that there is talk of terrorist attacks in this situation. So, just to give an example, even the X MAS's assault on the port of Alexandria in the Second World War would be a terrorist act. It is now clear that the conflict will be resolved with the defeat of one of the parties "in the old way", that is, on the ground, and at a very high cost.
