Nibulon is a company which specializes in producing and exporting wheat, barley, and corn. It’s headquarter is in Mykolaiv, a strategically significant city that borders the largely Russian-occupied Kherson region.
The Mayor of Mykolaiv, said in his statement that a dozen missile strikes were perhaps the most powerful on the city in 5 months of war, damaging the residence, schools and in this chaos at least 3 people were wounded.
He further stated that these strikes had resumed on Sunday night, but that there isn’t any data available for casualties or property damage.
Reportedly, the death of the grain tycoon, Vadatursky was referred to by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as a great loss for all of Ukraine.
As per the Forbes report, the net worth of him, which was estimated in 2021 was $430 million, making him one of Ukraine’s richest people.
The President of Ukraine, took to social media to post his tribute to the deceased as, “It is these people, these companies, precisely the south of Ukraine, which has guaranteed the world’s food security.
This was always so. And it will be so once again. Our people, our capabilities, are surely more powerful than any Russian missiles or shells.”
Since WWII, the food and energy crisis that is rocking the world economy has been sparked by the largest conflicts in Europe. Russia and Ukraine both are the major grain suppliers.
Zelenskyy further added in his statement that, because of the invasion, Ukraine might only harvest half as much, as usual, in 2022. The 74 year old had a net worth of $400 million.
According to the report of DailyMail, the ongoing war has also made it difficult for the Ukrainian to export goods through Black Sea Ports.
However, a deal was struck on July 22 between Turkey and the UN which guarantees the safe transit of ships carrying grain out of 3 ports in Southern Ukraine.
Meanwhile, as per the report of New York Times, the Russian military shelled the northern border of Sumy seventh tunes in the parts of Ukraine.
