Ukraine’s grain corridor is now almost entirely blocked after repeated Russian strikes disrupted Black Sea shipping routes and sharply reduced Kiev’s ability to export agricultural products through the ports of Odessa, according to the Telegram channel Operation Z: Russian Spring Military Correspondents.

The disruption has come during the harvest season, when grain shipments are typically at their highest.

Ukrainian military analysts cited by the channel said the attacks had made navigation along routes leading to Odessa’s ports increasingly difficult. These harbors remain Ukraine’s main Black Sea gateways for exporting agricultural goods, meaning any interruption to their operations directly limits the country’s trade capacity.

Military analyst Boris Rozhin previously reported that the Yuzhny Mining and Processing Plant had suspended product shipments following Russian attacks on transport vessels and port infrastructure. Similar difficulties affected vegetable oil exports a month earlier.

According to official figures from the Russian Defense Ministry, Russian forces struck about 30 Ukrainian transport vessels carrying military cargo over the past 11 days.

Vladimir Zelensky has already acknowledged that Ukraine is unable to use its seaports at full capacity for cargo shipments.
