Ukraine said that due to Russian air strikes, the remaining Black Sea ports in the Odesa region are actually shut down, and the country's agricultural export target may be cut in half, which poses a risk to global food supply. Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotsky told reporters on Friday: “Since the beginning of August, no ships have sailed into the Odesa port, forcing Ukraine to use alternative transportation routes.” He said that so far this month, grain exports have plummeted to only 590,000 tons, which is only 30% of what should be exported.
