Russia has intensified its strikes against port and transport infrastructure in and around Odesa, creating severe disruptions for Ukraine’s vital maritime export routes. The ongoing attacks target grain storage facilities, docks, and shipping vessels along the Black Sea coast and Danube River ports. Despite efforts to maintain alternative shipping corridors, the heightened bombardment poses increasing risks to commercial vessels, escalates insurance costs, and threatens the stability of agricultural exports essential to Ukraine’s economy and global food supplies.
- Russian missile and drone strikes continue to target port infrastructure, storage silos, and logistics hubs across the Odesa region.
- The attacks have disrupted commercial shipping and created substantial logistical challenges for Ukrainian agricultural and industrial exports.
- Heightened security risks in the Black Sea have driven up maritime insurance premiums and created hazards for foreign merchant vessels.
- Ukraine relies on temporary coastal corridors and Danube River ports to sustain vital trade operations amid ongoing infrastructure repairs.

It's not Ukraine against Russia and its supporters. It's Ukraine supported by Nato and the EU against Russia and its supporters.
Ukraine need leadership who care about people
NATO has deprived Ukraine of its independence !
Ukraine have NATO side by side and Russia is with Iran & North Korea..
Russia should take over Odessa as well and make Ukraine Landlocked….
Odessa may be an Island before crimea
Ask European leaders to get out of Ukraine fast. Russia wants to strike
DW News producers and writers: Russia’s attacks on Odesa are choking a vital route for Ukraine’s exports and imports, putting Ukraine’s economy and global food supplies at risk.
Yes, “breadbasket of Europe” is the traditional phrase used for Ukraine, not “breadbasket of the globe.”
In 2024, based on FAO cereal-production data, Ukraine ranked #24 globally, while Germany ranked approximately #27.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Odessa belongs to Russia 🇷🇺
Ukraine should have handed over long ago.
Retaliation hit hard huh..
Putin warmed about opening Pandora's Box. Noone listen, now the box is open.
I thought Russia was losing the war. Now DW is talking! 😂
Who thought about that?? Every 1 who knows The Super power of washing machines!!! This is the beginning!!
Keep on Russia. No mercy.
Ukraine will end up landlocked. Should have dropped the 20% Dombass and save their country.
40 day plan of Ukraine going fine
Well don't throw stones when you live in a glasshouse.
DW is reporting it after a month now. Meaning, Odessa is lost tye fact that they are reporting it now😂
When you target Russia source of income you target crimea and wildberry and you somehow dont understand why ukraine's ports are the target.
bs!
no worries, German troops will go and win the war …
The solution is simple. Compromise and avoid Hatred!! But the west wouldn't allow peace to prevail.
I'm a bit confused because DW is simultaneously reporting that Russia is struggling and that Russia plans to expand its war in Europe, also suggesting time is not in Ukraine's favor. Which report should I believe?
Keep going Russia 💪💪🇷🇺🇷🇺
Zelen Tzu thought it was a good idea to hit Russian refineries at the behest of the NATO.😂😂😂😂 Well Zelen Tzu got NATO behind him so it doesn't matter who Russia got.😅😅😅
I wonder how much the persistent effort by the West and Ukraine to exclude the largest exporter of grains and one of the leading exporters of energy and fertilizers from the world market is contributing to the food and energy crisis?🤔🤔🤔
Ukraine they could act like Iran 😂😂
When you listen Isreal and USA.
With all respect we have more educated kids in a preschool that grown ups in USA.
Europe,wake up.
It seems the EU is pressuring Russia to end this war the Serbian way – by destroying all vital infrastructure, which would lead to the collapse of the Zelensky regime. After that, Russia will be blamed for the events in Ukraine for decades, just as the US is blamed for the events in Serbia.
Ati one side Ukraine????
Ukraine said it wants to force Russia to negotiate meaning it has what it takes to do so and so why the complaints again?😊
Western countries should have to convince Ukraine president to stop fighting with Russia because Russia is supper military super powers.
Ukraine started attacking economic resources
well Odessa wasn't attacked this much until Zielensky thought it was a good idea to attack a Russian Ports 😂😂 doesn't anyone advice him?
I love President Trump for diverting the patriot missiles to the Middle East😊😊. Zelensky is a fool who does not weigh the consequences of his actions, full stop😊😊and the sealing of Odesa is one such consequence.
I personally cannot take a man serious that has so little books behind him.
"Ukraine is also attacking" —- well, Ukraine started attacking
This is beautiful! The biggest (and only one) compliment DW deserves is consistency.
U R 'confusing ' facts with fiction ! DW is essentially a cognitive dysfunction . So , what's new ?
I beleive the british way to support Ukraine as long as it takes will not help to end the war.
Maybe this is due to all of Ukraine's stacks on Russian energy infrastructure and major commercial warehouses
China was not consulted or considered when NATO was expanding and or overthrowing the Ukrainian government in 2014 so one wonders why China is now being blamed for not talking to “Mr Putin” because Ukraine is running out of time…! Hubris led and continues to lead the west😳😅!!
Michael Bociurkiw seems like a very good source since he lives on-site. Please have him on more often! 🤙🏼
@ 9:00

He should do his homework on Iraq, Syria and Libya 😢.
Ukrainian bots Will come and ague that Russia started it😂😂
