Attacks on Ukrainian grain depots shows Russia unable to secure 'clear military victory,' expert says

Fox News Greg Palkot reports from Kyiv on another deadly Russian missile strike and Moscows efforts to block Ukraine food exports. Russia continued to target Ukrainian grain infrastructure in attacks overnight Wednesday, a sign the country could be struggling to achieve a victory in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. "By targeting Ukraine's grain depots, Putin seeks to starve Ukrainians and create a food crisis, in order to compel [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy to capitulate and Western nations to withdraw support from Ukraine," Rebekah Koffler, a strategic military intelligence analyst, former senior official at the Defense Intelligence Agency, and author of "Putin's Playbook," told Fox News Digital. "Putin's goal at this stage is to turn Ukraine into a dysfunctional state, that is unable to govern itself and feed its people, thus raising the cost of rebuilding it for the U.S. and European countries." Koffler's comments come after another round of attacks against Ukraine's southern Odesa region, where overnight Russian drones hit storage facilities and ports that Ukraine has been using for grain transport, according to a report from The Associated Press.
