Zelenskyy: Russia is trying to block Ukraine’s access to the sea by striking the Odesa region

Russia is trying to block Ukraine’s access to maritime logistics by striking the Odesa region.

This was stated in an address by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“There is an understanding of all the challenges – this is Russia’s attempt to block Ukraine’s access to maritime logistics. The world must not remain silent about this. Everyone must see: without pressure on Russia, they are not going to really end the aggression there. The pressure must increase,” the president emphasized.

Zelensky clarified that all necessary forces have been involved in the Odesa region to guarantee reliable logistics with the south of the region. Last week, Deputy Prime Minister for Development of Communities  Oleksiy Kuleba and Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Viktor Mykyta dealt with the situation in the region.

Earlier, USM reported that Kuleba met with carriers and exporters in the Odesa region.
