According to the president, despite Russian attacks on port infrastructure, shipping in the Great Odesa area continues.

Ukraine is ready to support Turkey’s initiative for a mutual moratorium on attacks on civilian vessels, commercial ports and energy infrastructure in the Black Sea.

In the first 15 days of August, Ukraine exported only 641.9 thousand tons of agricultural products, and the projected export volume for the entire month is about 1.33 million tons.

Ukraine has offered Russia a mutual halt to attacks on ships transporting agricultural products through the Black Sea, but Moscow has refused.

Due to the halt in sea exports, Ukraine is now exporting about 300,000 tons of oil per month — about half as much as before.

The closure of the ports of Great Odesa may lead to a reduction in production by the company’s enterprises in August by approximately 30%.

The state-owned company “CTO”, owned by the German HHLA, showed an increase in transshipment in the first half of 2026, while the group’s overall container turnover decreased.

Problems with the operation of Ukrainian and Russian ports in the Black and Azov Seas could reduce global grain supplies this year by about 86 million tons.

The Romanian Shipping Canals Administration has completed the modernization and expansion of the capacities of the Luminița port on the Danube-Black Sea canal.

In the first half of August, Ukraine exported 794 thousand tons of agricultural products – about 30% of the potential volume.
