Russia has destroyed 90% of Ukraine's modern storage facilities, minister says

The agriculture minister declared that Russian forces have destroyed 90 % of Ukraine’s modern storage facilities, a statement first carried by The Kyiv Independent. The ministry characterized the loss as affecting high‑capacity warehouses that are integral to the national food‑supply chain. The claim was echoed by other Ukrainian outlets, positioning the figure as a benchmark for the scale of infrastructure damage within the ongoing conflict.

Officials said the damage undermines export capacity and regional distribution. IntelliNews’s missile‑war monitor reported that both Russia and Ukraine are systematically stripping each other’s delivery networks, a development that compounds the storage losses. UkrMedia News conveyed Musienko’s warning that jet‑drone attacks on Kyiv could last several hours, indicating sustained aerial pressure.

Ukrinform confirmed the destruction of a confectionery‑company warehouse in the Kyiv region, providing a concrete example of civilian‑sector damage. This convergence reinforces the ministry’s assessment of a near‑total loss of modern warehousing capacity. Combined with the reported erosion of delivery networks and ongoing jet‑drone raids, the coverage portrays a logistics environment that is severely compromised, leaving Ukraine’s internal distribution and export channels in a fragile condition.
