ウ实际操作 Ukrainian intelligence said Russia is preparing attacks on Ukraine’s food-industry and agricultural infrastructure. Potential targets include grain elevators and warehouses, oil plants, dairy and meat plants, and poultry farms. The strikes could weaken food security, damage the economy, reduce foreign-currency revenue to the budget, and support a campaign aimed at demoralizing Ukrainian society.
要点
- The warning came from a source in Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the HUR.
- Potential targets include grain elevators, agricultural warehouses, and storage and processing facilities.
- Oil plants producing sunflower and other vegetable oils are also reportedly at risk.
- Dairy plants, meat-processing plants, poultry farms, and other food-industry facilities may be targeted.
- The attacks could reduce foreign-currency receipts to Ukraine’s budget and damage the economy.
- Both Ukrainian and foreign-owned food-industry facilities in Ukraine could be affected.
- Intelligence assesses that the strikes could weaken Ukraine’s food security and support an information campaign aimed at demoralizing society.
なぜ重要か
The targeted facilities are important to Ukraine’s food security and agricultural processing. Potential attacks could cause substantial economic damage, reduce foreign-currency revenue for the state budget, and disrupt production at both Ukrainian and foreign-owned businesses. Intelligence also assesses that weakening food security could help Russia expand its agricultural exports to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
何が起きたか
Ukraine’s intelligence reported that Russia is preparing attacks on food-industry and agricultural infrastructure. According to the HUR source, potential targets include elevators and warehouses used to store and process grain and other crops, plants producing sunflower and other vegetable oils, dairy plants, meat-processing plants, poultry farms, and other food-industry enterprises.
The stated objectives are to destabilize Ukraine, weaken its food security, damage the economy, and reduce foreign-currency inflows to the budget. The attacks may also be used to support an information campaign intended to demoralize Ukrainian society. In addition, disrupting Ukrainian food production could help Russia increase its share of agricultural exports, particularly to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Attacks on Ukrainian agricultural and food-production infrastructure have continued since 2025. Reported examples include the destruction of a Prometey elevator on 3 June 2025, damage to a TM Kharchi food plant during an attack on Kyiv in June 2025, and the destruction of the Strilets pasta plant in Chuhuiv, Kharkiv region, on 28 October 2025. In 2026, attacks hit the Yagotynske Dlia Ditei factory on 5 June, killing four people and injuring seven, and damaged facilities belonging to the Yuvileinyi meat-processing plant on 1 July. Roshen was reportedly struck three times, while the Astarta soybean-processing plant in Vinnytsia was damaged on 8 November.
