Russia and Ukraine Grain Exports Drop as Both Sides Hit Ports

Grain exports from both Russia and Ukraine are falling as the two countries attack each other’s shipping facilities and ports. The strikes have disrupted key trade routes in the Black Sea, a major corridor for global grain supply. Russian export terminals have been hit in a Ukrainian attack on Black Sea ports, while Ukrainian shipping infrastructure has also come under repeated Russian fire. The mutual assaults have slowed cargo movement, raising concerns about food supply chains in regions that depend on Black Sea grain. Both nations have accused each other of deliberately targeting civilian export infrastructure. The full impact on global grain prices and deliveries remains unclear, but the ongoing strikes are already reducing the flow of exports from one of the world’s most important agricultural hubs.
