🇷🇺⚡️ — Russia is exporting grain through the Arctic port of Murmansk for the first time, attempting to bypass problems with routes through the Black and Baltic Seas.

The first shipment of 3,400 tons is already being loaded, and about another 28,000 tons of wheat are being prepared for shipment to Morocco.

This route was used back in World War II, when the Allies delivered cargoes to the USSR through Murmansk.

Analysts estimate that Murmansk will be able to handle 0.7–1.1 million tons of grain per year, whereas more than 46 million tons were previously exported through the Azov–Black Sea basin. In addition, transporting grain by rail from southern Russia increases costs by 18–25 dollars per ton. Therefore, the new route cannot fully replace the traditional ports.

According to Zelensky’s adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov, Russia has already tried to use such a warhead to attack an electrical pylon.
He noted that cable‑stayed bridges may be vulnerable to such strikes, despite the safety margin built into their design.
