According to Ukrainian sources, approximately 30% of military cargo arriving by sea and 40% of all military imports were handled through the Izmail and Reni ports. Following recent attacks, there has been a 70% decrease in the loading and unloading capacity of these ports over the last 24 hours. The expert claimed that the Russian Armed Forces are preparing to completely block Ukraine's last remaining waterway artery, andWe have destroyed the port infrastructure in the Black Sea, cutting off Ukraine's connection to the sea. Now we are targeting the remaining infrastructure, primarily the railways. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, just last week, three trains carrying fuel and ammunition from Izmail to Donbas were stopped. That's why we're hitting the rail stations to break the 'port - wagon - front' chain.
argued that to completely isolate Ukraine, the land and rail routes on the Polish border must also be targeted.Completely closing these communication lines will reduce NATO's ability to provide military aid to Ukraine by at least half, if not two-thirds. It will also severely impact Kiev's ability to sell its remaining export products, including grain. It's no coincidence that Kiev has recently requested a ceasefire at sea level. We did not respond to this request. This situation is extremely critical for the Ukrainian army.
