His house was hit by Russian missiles, the Ukrainian grain tycoon lost his life

One of Ukraine's richest businessmen has been killed along with his wife during Russian attacks on the southern city of Mykolaiv.

Oleksiy Vadatursky and his wife lost their lives after a rocket hit their house during the night.

Vadatursky owned Nibulo, a group involved in grain exports. He also received the "Hero of Ukraine" award.

Nibulon has built many storage facilities and other infrastructure for grain export.

Ukraine and Russia are the main exporters of wheat and other grains, and the disruption of exports caused by the war has sent food prices soaring around the world.

Mykolaiv is on the main route to Odesa, Ukraine's main port, and has been hit repeatedly.
