Qué ha ocurrido
Ukraine’s military intelligence reported that Russia is preparing attacks on objects used for storing and processing agricultural crops, as well as on food-production facilities. The listed potential targets include elevators, warehouses, sunflower and other vegetable-oil plants, dairy and meat plants, poultry farms and other food-industry enterprises. Some facilities may belong to foreign investors.
According to the intelligence assessment, the campaign is intended to destabilize Ukraine through attacks on food security, damage the country’s economy and reduce foreign-currency income to the budget. It could also precede an information campaign aimed at demoralizing the population and support Russia’s efforts to expand its agricultural exports, particularly to Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Strikes on similar infrastructure have continued since 2025. Among the previously reported cases are damage to grain elevators, food factories, meat and dairy plants, poultry farms, warehouses and an oil-processing plant.
