Zhivytsky clarified that the Russians hit the warehouses with self-propelled guns. 24 shells exploded on the territory of the farm.
According to the head of the regional military administration, the occupiers are not shelling these warehouses for the first time, they were already hit a few days ago. This time, almost nothing remained of the farmers’ premises.

People walk carefully in the village and do not step everywhere, the war left behind ruins and unexploded ammunition.
Tears in the eyes of people who for the first time in seven months were able to reach and see their houses, or rather ruins. The village of Zorya in the Mykolaiv Oblast was on the front line, the occupiers were hitting people’s houses and lots every day, because our soldiers were defending nearby. The village was closed to civilians because of the danger.
For the first time since March, Roza Pavlivna stepped into her war-damaged yard. The old woman is in tears because she does not recognize her house. She was born in 1941, lived here for half a century and lost everything in a day. “To make them disappear, bastards. I was born, Kyiv was bombed, I was told that the war had started and I will probably die in the war,” says the woman in despair.
Shells fell in the yard, several flew into the walls. Photographs of her children hang on the surviving walls.
At the nearby roundabout, Petro and his wife are waiting for boards and film, which will be enough for several windows. “It’s for us to sheathe the windows if possible, cover the roof for now – that’s what they’re giving for now,” the man says.
Veterinary doctor Petro with his wife and children ran away from their dream home in mid-March. They haven’t been here since. It was impossible to imagine what they saw even in a terrible dream.
The center of the village is crowded today, because a dozen fellow villagers have gathered. They bypass the streets and look for surviving houses. Vitaliy’s house is destroyed, like his fellow villagers, he lives in the outskirts of Mykolaiv in rented houses, he has no reason to restore his own. “The walls have been pulled down, they need to be demolished and kicked out from the foundation, there is no point in covering them in parts,” he recounts.
A few houses survived among the ruins, with holes and no windows, but the walls are standing. Locals will live in them in shifts so as not to loot. “Now we are trying to organize shifts so as not to leave the village to its own devices. There are already a few people who are left to live, we hope that generators will be provided, the rural council is provided for. We will provide firewood and water from Germany, we will not leave the village,” says Volodymyr Petryshyn, a member of the executive committee of the Shevchenkiv village council.
Once the street of roses in Zorya is now in ditches and broken concrete pillars, with pigs thrown by people. The occupiers simply razed the village to the foundations and achieved their goal. “We will not be able to repair it ourselves, we rely on the state. We invested a lot of money and labor, we worked all our lives. Our car, our equipment, tractor – everything was in the farm, everything was used.” – show people.
People walk carefully in the village and do not step everywhere, the war left behind ruins and unexploded ammunition. Grandmother Roza lifts a family photo album from the dust and garbage – this is what she will return to Mykolayiv with today.
She will return with her memory etched on film, because she has nothing left from that life. “These are my 4 children, I need to take something, I would take at least something, because there are no pillows, nothing to sleep on,” says the woman.
The invaders collected almost 6 million tons of wheat in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as about 88% of winter crops.
Bloomberg writes about this with reference to the results of the NASA Harvest study.
It is known that almost a quarter of Ukrainian wheat is grown in the temporarily occupied territories. Analysts say the Russians exported the grain, likely to various countries, including Libya and Iran. However, it is difficult to estimate volumes because shippers hide the origin of the shipments. The value of the stolen food is about 1 billion dollars.
The NASA Harvest team also estimated that farmers in Ukraine harvested 26.6 million tons of wheat this year, which is several million tons higher than other leading forecasts.
We would like to remind you that Ukraine wants to continue the grain initiative on an indefinite basis. For this purpose, the authorities plan to expand the “grain corridor” to other Ukrainian ports.
At the same time, Russia is artificially limiting the possibilities of the grain agreement. During its operation, there was an experience of conducting 40 inspections per day, now due to the position of the Russian Federation, five times fewer vessels are inspected.
