Russia planning strikes on Ukraine's food industry, military intelligence source says

A source from Ukraine's military intelligence reports that Russia is planning strikes on Ukraine's food industry, targeting various facilities to destabilize food security and inflict economic damage. The strikes aim to reduce Ukraine's agricultural export earnings while boosting Russia's global agricultural market share. Additionally, an information campaign is expected to accompany these attacks to demoralize the Ukrainian population. Recent months have seen Russia targeting food supply chains, impacting major supermarket distribution centers and leading to shortages in Kyiv. President Zelensky has warned of further strikes against critical infrastructure.
