Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Wednesday that Russian attacks on port infrastructure demonstrate Moscow's determination to cause a "global catastrophe" and a crisis in food markets, prices, and supplies. He said, "For the Russian state, this is not just a battle for our freedom and our country." He added, "Moscow is waging a battle for a global catastrophe. In their mad pursuit, they need the collapse of global food markets, a price crisis, and supply disruptions."
