Founder and owner of agriculture company Nibulon, and his wife, were killed in their home in Russian strikes
Heavy Russian strikes hit the southern Ukrainian port city of Mykolaiv overnight and early on Sunday, killing the owner of one of the country’s largest grain producing and exporting companies, the local governor said.
Three people were also wounded in the attacks on Mikolaiv, the city’s Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych told Ukrainian television, adding 12 missiles had hit homes and educational facilities. He earlier described the strikes as “probably the most powerful” on the city of the entire five-month-old war. Zelensky said on Sunday the country may harvest only half its usual amount this year due to the invasion.
“Many refuse to leave but it still needs to be done,” Zelensky said. “The more people leave the Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill.” The ministry had published a list of 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war killed and 73 wounded in what it said was a Ukrainian military strike with a U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System .
