@vivify saidThere's nothing "stupid" about holding parties to an agreement to the terms of said agreement.
That is a disgustingly legalistic argument driven by abject stupidity.
The purpose of the deal was so grain can be distributed to countries that badly need it; attacking a port where grain was getting read to be shipped spits in the face of that deal.
What a wildly stupid post.
Despite your wildly misleading thread title, there is no allegation that Russia actually attacked a "food supply".
Russia is being surprisingly generous to make such an agreement in the first place considering the West has attempted to place a tight economic blockade on it. I assume the Ukraine isn't giving away its grain for free, so any sales it makes to foreign countries or agencies gives resources to the country to supply its war effort. Economic blockades of countries you are at war with are hardly unusual (without getting into the legality of the war itself).

"Russian forces fired precision missiles into the port of Odesa as grain was being readied for export."
@vivify saidThere's no specifics in that opinion piece and it should be taken with a grain of salt given the author's obvious wish for a full scale war by NATO against Russia:

"Russian forces fired precision missiles into the port of Odesa as grain was being readied for export."
" Helping Ukraine defeat Russia is the quickest way to get economies back on track. If this means putting boots on the ground, ships in the sea or planes in the air, then so be it, if it ensures Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine do not also affect the most in need around the globe. There are many war crimes being committed in Ukraine by Russian forces and, as the UN appears powerless or unwilling to act, Nato must."

Ukraine's official command and some scuttlebutt from anonymous sources seem to be on a different page:
"Command spokeswoman Nataliya Humenyuk said no grain storage facilities were hit. Turkey’s defense minister, however, said he had had reports from Ukrainian authorities that one missile struck a grain silo while another landed nearby, although neither affected loading at Odesa’s docks."

There is no explicit ceasefire in the deal, but Russia's obligations were clearly spelled out: "The Russian Federation has committed to facilitate the unimpeded export of food, sunflower oil and fertilizers," a statement from Guterres' office said.
I'm not getting into a dueling link war. Putin is an evil, dishonest scumbag. He lied that he had no intent of invading Ukraine when 100,000 troops were at their border followed by a false flag, which the U.S had warned would happen. This is no different.
@vivify saidHow does that endanger the deal?
https://www.newsweek.com/putin-spit-face-un-striking-port-after-grain-deal-ukraine-1727386The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin "spit" in the face of the United Nations and Turkey after Russia was accused of striking a Ukrainian port in Odessa with missiles.

Is there a reason grain exports cannot continue?
@vivify saidPutin only lied to a bunch of liars.

Everybody lies. Scumbags on both sides.

Putin did not put mines in the Black Sea, Ukraine did that.
Russia has been de-mining and has offered to escort grain shipments by sea and has only asked that Ukraine de-mine their port to do that. Ukraine has been dragging their feet since.
Ukraine is to blame. They put all those mines in the Black Sea and a storm blew them all over the place. Stop scapegoating Putin!
