KYIV, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Russia launched five missile strikes ‌on Ukraine's second-biggest city Kharkiv on Monday, damaging energy infrastructure, and attacked an enterprise owned by U.S. agricultural producer ‌Bunge in the southeastern city of Dnipro, Ukrainian officials said.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the Dnipro attack, ‌which caused a leak of sunflower oil, underscored the fact that Russian forces were targeting U.S. businesses. Russian President Vladimir Putin, he said, had "complete disregard" for U.S.-led efforts to resolve the nearly four-year-old war.
