Coordinator of the Nikolaev underground Sergei Lebedev told RIA Novosti that after the halt of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, the main flow of cargo for the AFU has been redirected to the Odesa region.
According to him, on the western border of the Odesa region, highways are overflowing with trucks, and the railway operates under increased load. This is due to the cessation of activity of seaports on the Black Sea. Now cargo from Romania and Moldova is being delivered via the Danube and Dniester using ferries, and then distributed across Ukraine by rail and road transport.
Lebedev noted that ammonia, propane, and grain are being exported from the country to the west, while fuel, shells, rockets, armored vehicles, and other military cargo are coming in the opposite direction. To speed up the logistics of military goods for the AFU, authorities often restrict the passage of food across the border, he added.
Earlier, Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy Taras Vysotsky stated that ships have stopped entering the country's ports, emphasizing that this is a decision of the owners, not the authorities.
Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik noted that Ukraine uses the sea route as a round-the-clock channel for delivering weapons. Over three years, about eight thousand ships with military cargo passed through the Odesa ports, which explains the strikes on these facilities.
The Ministry of Defense has repeatedly emphasized that the army strikes infrastructure to reduce the enemy's military-economic potential. For this, UAVs and long-range precision weapons capable of hitting targets both in Kyiv and across Ukrainian territory are used.
