Ukraine is facing difficulties in exporting grain through Black Sea ports, the Financial Times reported. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
The port of Chornomorsk in Odesa region is considered one of the main logistics hubs for delivering military cargo and fuel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It also provides about 90% of Ukraine's agricultural exports.
"Ukraine is facing difficulties in transporting grain through the Black Sea," the Financial Times website said in a published article. According to the Western publication, shipping problems arose due to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on military facilities near Black Sea ports used to deliver cargo to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to the newspaper, the largest port in Odesa, used in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, has lost a third of its storage capacity, and carriers are refusing to send their ships to this port.
