Shipowners halt calls at Ukraine’s Black Sea ports
In Ukraine, Reuters reported that shipowners halted vessel arrivals at Ukraine’s Black Sea ports due to ified Russian strikes.
The report noted that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned Moscow might escalate attacks in order to block the country’s main corridor for grain exports.
In recent weeks, Russia has pummeled logistics and port infrastructure in the southern Odessa region with missiles and drones.
Shipowners — wary of the attacks — have temporarily suspended vessel arrivals meant to pick up agricultural products at the ports, Ukraine’s agriculture minister Taras Vysotskyi said.
“Ukraine, as a state, has not imposed any restrictions,” Vysotskyi added.
