Ukrainian Drones Threaten Russia's Grain Exports

Russia's grain exports via the Black Sea are at risk of coming to a near-halt due to Ukrainian drone attacks on commercial vessels and port infrastructure.

The Russian Union of Grain Exporters and Producers warns that intensified attacks throughout July have created a risk of complete disruption of grain export routes in the Black Sea basin.

Damage to port infrastructure and growing risks to commercial shipping could force shipowners to suspend calls at Russian ports, further exacerbating the issue.
