Russians plan to “modernize” ports in the occupied Kherson region

The Russians plan to “increase the capacity” of the ports of Skadovsk and Genichesk in the occupied part of the Kherson region.

On the territory of the port of Skadovsk, they plan to build warehouses for containers and general cargo, Russian media write.

The Unified Institute of Spatial Planning of the Russian Federation (EIPP) has developed a set of measures “aimed at restoring and increasing the capacity for storing, transshipment and transportation of cargo” of the Skadovsk seaport and “developing” the Genichesk seaport.

The invaders want to build warehouses for containers and general cargo in the Skadovsk port, tanks for bulk food cargo in the Skadovsk port, as well as boathouses for repairing and parking ships.

The Russians also plan to “reconstruct” the building and berth of the Genichesk and Skadovsk ports.

Earlier, USM reported that Russia is preparing a new scheme for plunder in the occupied South – the focus is on the Skadovsk port. In June, Kremlin curators arrived in the temporarily occupied Kherson region to integrate the region into the Russian economy. The key focus of Russian plans is maritime logistics. In particular, the occupiers announced the resumption of the Skadovsk seaport in order to use it for grain exports.

As a reminder, the Russians also announced plans to “develop” the port in occupied Berdyansk. The occupiers also activated military logistics through the port of Mariupol.
