A Ukrainian military intelligence source said Russia is preparing strikes on food industry facilities in Ukraine, targeting both Ukrainian and foreign-owned businesses. Ukrainska Pravda and Ukrinform both reported the intelligence claims, which say the aim is to undermine food security and expand Russia's share of agricultural export markets. The Kyiv Independent noted that Russian strikes in August hit distribution centers for Silpo and Novus, leaving some Kyiv stores short of vegetables, dairy and meat. The sources gave no specific targets or timing for the planned attacks.
