#Grain Export

Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Plekhanchuk stated that Russia is suffering nominally greater losses than Ukraine in the Black Sea, and that grain shipments from Novorossiysk are, according to him, approaching zero.

Oxford Economics forecasts an 11.8% rise in global food prices in 2026: wheat could become 36% more expensive amid strikes in the Black Sea, drought and rising fertilizer and diesel prices.

Following the "Coalition of the Willing" meeting in Kyiv, Zelensky stated that Ukraine is considering allies' talks with Moscow and the reinforcement of air defense around the grain corridor. There is no total blockade of the ports.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sibiga revealed the agenda of the emergency UN Security Council meeting on August 24: rocket-drone terror, strikes on ports, the grain crisis, and the attack on Kryvyi Rih in which 16 people were killed.

A night drone attack on the Bolhrad and Izmail districts of the Odesa region damaged the 'Tabaki' border crossing on the border with Moldova. The passage of people and cargo has been temporarily halted, and traffic is being diverted through other checkpoints.

Russian strikes on Odesa ports have almost completely halted Ukrainian grain exports at the height of the harvest. Analysts forecast a contraction of Ukraine's GDP by 1.8–2% already in 2026.

The Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine stated that due to the blockade of Odesa ports, the agricultural sector is in a more difficult position than at the beginning of the war in 2022: the $10 billion reserve has been exhausted, and grain exports fell by 70% in August.

Five grain ships were attacked off the Russian ports of Novorossiysk and Tuapse. This is the first confirmation of strikes on the fleet against the backdrop of intensified Ukrainian attacks and the halt of exports from Azov ports.

The war between Russia and Ukraine threatens a global food crisis: mutual strikes on ports and ships in the Black Sea could completely halt grain exports, upon which millions of people depend.

🇲🇩 Maia Sandu stated that Moldova cannot ignore the transit of Ukrainian grain: "If Ukraine has no money for defense, we will have problems". 🚂 From August 10, rail transit tariffs have been reduced by 50% until the end of the year. 🌾 Moldova is expected to attract 10% of the 6 million tons of Ukrainian exports. ⚠️ Farmers fear competition, but authorities insist on geopolitical necessity.

🚨 Export Crisis: Ukraine risks failing to export 9 million tons of grain from August to October 2026. 📉 Foreign exchange revenue losses could reach up to $2.8 billion. 🚛 Main reasons: shortage of capacity in ports and at the border. 🌍 Global grain prices may rise due to supply shortages. 🇺🇦 Kyiv is seeking new routes via Moldova, demanding discounts on logistics.
