Russia readies to reroute exports from Sea of Azov after Ukrainian attacks
Russia is working to reroute grain shipments from the Sea of Azov after its vessels came under Ukrainian attacks in the sea. Russia's Ministry of Agriculture stated on Tuesday that Russia was preparing to use "alternative shipping routes" and may redirect cargo "to other modes of transport." The ministry added that "the situation in the Azov Sea will not affect the domestic market's food supply or our country's export capabilities."
Ukrainian military commander Robert Brovdi said on Telegram on Tuesday that drone attacks hit 11 Russian vessels in the Azov Sea overnight, including five tankers, five dry cargo vessels, and a tugboat. This brings the total number of vessels struck in the past nine days to 116. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Ukraine of carrying out "acts of terrorism," stating, "What the Ukrainian regime is doing goes beyond even piracy. Pirates, at least, plunder and keep the spoils for themselves. But here, it benefits neither them nor anyone else - the goal is simply to cause damage and intimidate. It is terrorism, pure and simple." Russia's Ministry of Defence said its air defences intercepted 288 Ukrainian drones across the country overnight.
