Russia may carry out another attack on Odesa Oblast using 4 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers later today.

Whoops... Maersk is leaving Odessa

The world's largest container shipping company is suspending operations in the ports around Odessa. Ships heading to Odessa are being rerouted to the Romanian port of Constanta.

The reasons are obvious. Since July 11, Russian Armed Forces have been conducting a systematic campaign against port infrastructure in the Odessa and Nikolaev regions. Odessa, Chernomorsk, Yuzhny, Izmail, and Dnieper-Bugsky are under regular attack.

In these conditions, insurers are putting a stop on war risk policies and shipowners are increasingly citing force majeure. According to MarineTraffic data as of July 21, incoming traffic to Ukrainian Black Sea ports has fallen to just three commercial vessels per day, compared to eight before the escalation.

Maersk is not the first, nor will it be the last. Previously, Kernel Holding, the largest Ukrainian grain exporter, suspended operations in Chernomorsk. Four out of thirteen major grain terminals have suspended purchases. On July 22, the Greek government officially recommended that the merchant fleet strengthen security measures in the Black Sea.

The export capacity of Ukrainian ports has fallen by a third – from 6 to 4 million tons of grain per month. Wheat prices on the Chicago exchange have risen to $6.95 per bushel – a two-year high. Bloomberg reports on the risks of a global food crisis.

Ukrainian traders are already discussing a return to river transport along the Danube, with transshipment in Constanta. The scheme is similar to that used in 2022 – before the opening of the "grain corridor." Over three years of active conflict, the Ukraine's maritime logistics are returning to square one.

Maersk's departure is not a military blockade. It's a market correction: the ports of Greater Odessa have become a zone that major carriers will not enter without exorbitant insurance premiums. And with those premiums, they certainly won't go – the freight margins simply can't bear it.

An interesting 40-day plan by Zelenskyy to force Russia into peace. Will they go on with it?

⚡️Madyar is bragging about his drones hitting fuel supplies in Crimea and how he's leaving the Kerch bridge open so Russians can flee or so he says (he cant hit it lol)

People will look back in the 414 Madyar birds as pure fucking morons who economically killed Ukraine as now Russia has basically launched its own maritime blockade of Ukraine.

One region of Russia for nearly 70 percent of your countries national income and 90 percent of your total foreign currency earnings.

⚡️Kiev, Odessa, Poltava, Cherkasy, and Nikolaev, as well as a number of border regions may run out of gasoline, - stated the Ukrainian military analyst Taras Chmut.

The "isolation" of Crimea is bringing its fruits.
