Russia has destroyed around 90% of food storage infrastructure inside Ukraine in recent months.

Omissions

• The '90%' figure refers specifically to modern storage facilities for goods and to retailers' food logistics / retail warehouse capacity, not to ALL food storage infrastructure in Ukraine as the MEP's phrasing ('food storage infrastructure') may imply.
• Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskyi explicitly stated that Ukraine is NOT facing a threat of food shortages or famine — context omitted from the claim.
• All located sources derive from the same ministerial press briefing (Interfax-Ukraine, 28 August 2026) and therefore do not constitute fully independent corroboration.
• No primary source (the original ministerial press-briefing transcript or Ukrainian government publication) was located; the figure is reported only through secondary news outlets.
