Russia Continues Attacks on Black Sea Coast as Ukraine Readies Grain Exports
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Ukraine, Russia's military has fired missiles at several targets on
the Black Sea coast, including in Mykolaiv and the southern port city of
Odessa. The attacks came even as Ukrainian officials said they were just
days away from implementing a United Nations-brokered deal to export
grain and cooking oil through Black Sea ports in order to help ease
global food shortages. In the northern city of Chuhuiv near Kharkiv,
rescuers combed through rubble looking for survivors of Russian missile
attacks Monday that hit a local school, crushed homes and completely
flattened the city's House of Culture.

Mayor Halyna Minayeva: "We're here in the very city center, where the
House of Culture is located. There were no soldiers here. It's simply
the House of Culture. Now we see what's left of it. The house is
completely in ruins. There is no chance of rebuilding it."
