Russian newspaper: The attack on Odessa may decide the fate of Eastern Europe. Ukrainian Odessa is located on the coast of the Black Sea, and its people speak the Ukrainian and Russian languages.
Russian newspaper's report continued that "for humanitarian reasons" the Russian armed forces did not target the main port terminals, including the grain terminals, where aid directed to Africa was supposed to pass from there. The writer stated that Odessa's retention of it remains an indicator of its strength, and without it, Ukraine will become a hopeless governmental entity, even if it remains in control of the major industrial centers.
