Zelensky Condemns 'Horrific' Strike on Turkish Corn Ship in Black Sea

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the Russian attack as horrific, stating that two drones struck a civilian vessel carrying corn owned by Turkey in neutral waters. The captain was killed and another crew member remains unaccounted for, while eleven sailors from Azerbaijan and India were rescued. Romania reported mounting a rescue mission after discovering fire on the ship Royad Mammadov within its exclusive economic zone, where it said two people had died. Zelensky emphasized that Russia consistently chooses terror over de-escalation in an effort to restore global food security.
