The White House warned on Wednesday that Russia could expand its attacks on Ukrainian grain facilities to include attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea.
Adam Hodge, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said US officials have information indicating that Russia has placed new sea mines on the approaches to Ukrainian ports.
Ukraine on Wednesday accused Russia of damaging its grain export infrastructure by about “hellish” night attacks focused on its two Black Sea ports and promised not to be afraid and keep working so that grain exports continue from them.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that after the suspension of the grain deal, all foreign vessels bound for Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea will be considered ships carrying military products.
In addition, Russia will consider the countries involved in the war on the side of Ukraine, the countries whose flags are on the Black Sea ships. The measure comes into effect from midnight, as indicated in the portfolio of the Russian military department.
In addition, the Russian authorities reported that the international waters of the eastern sector of the Black Sea will henceforth be considered “temporarily dangerous” for navigationaccording to information collected by the TASS news agency.
