In brief
Russia’s interference with Black Sea shipping has disrupted its own exports, Ukrainian navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said. He described an alternative Baltic Sea route as costly and slow.
Russia tried to shift grain and metal exports to a route through the Baltic Sea after obstructing Black Sea shipping corridors, Ukrainian navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said in televised remarks reported by LIGA.net.
Pletenchuk said Moscow had created difficulties for its own exports by interfering with civilian shipping. He described the Baltic route as illogical, expensive and time-consuming. LIGA.net’s report did not specify shipment volumes, ports, the timing of the attempted shift or quantified additional costs.
LIGA.net also reported that the Black Sea blockade threatens global food security and weakens Ukraine’s economy by preventing agricultural exports through their usual sea routes.
