Over the last 9 days as a result of russians targeted missile and drone attacks, 26 port infrastructure facilities, as well as 5 civilian vessels were damaged or partially destroyed.

This is reported by the Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development, Oleksandr Kubrakov.

The Minister adds that the occupiers "are effectively blocking the movement of vessels towards Ukraine's seaports" as they are restricting navigation in the area of temporarily occupied Crimea and near Bulgarian territorial waters.

Kubrakov emphasises that the blockade of the Black Sea by the rf servicemen could lead to losses for the Ukrainian economy, as well as a serious global food crisis, particularly in humanitarian-sensitive regions such as Africa and Asia.

Background. Earlier, Mind reported that the occupiers again attacked the port infrastructure of the Odessa Oblast with Kalibr missiles.
