UN condemns Russian strikes in Odesa
Meanwhile, senior UN officials have strongly condemned the deadly Russian missile strikes in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa on Sunday which damaged several historic buildings.
Over the past week, Russia has carried out aerial attacks on Odesa and two other port cities, Chornomorsk and Mykolaiv, since terminating the landmark Black Sea Initiative on grain and fertilizer exports. Odesa is one of Ukraine's main ports for exporting grain.
International media reported that at least one person was killed and more than 20 wounded in Sunday's attack, which damaged significant cultural sites in Odesa, including the Transfiguration Cathedral, the first and foremost Orthodox church in the city.
The Cathedral was founded in 1794 and is located in the Historic Centre of Odessa, which was in January inscribed on the World Heritage List maintained by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
