KYIV, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Recent Russian air attacks have destroyed around 90% of retailers' food logistics, Kyiv's agricultural minister said on Friday, revealing the scope of Moscow's mounting attacks on Ukrainian logistics.
Both countries have stepped up strikes in recent weeks on economic targets like major retailers, with Russia targeting warehouses for Ukraine's premier supermarket chains, top postal service and home-goods stores.
"As of today, roughly speaking, 90% of food logistics operated by retail chains have been destroyed, but that doesn't mean Ukrainians will be left without food," farm minister Taras Vysotskyi was cited by the Ukrinform agency as saying.
His comments to reporters in Kyiv are the most frank official ****** sment of the damage Russia's escalating strikes have brought on Ukraine's increasingly fragile economy in the fifth year of war.
