Russia targets Odessa land routes after maritime blockade, tightening grip on Ukrainian exports

Russia has escalated pressure on Odessa by targeting land routes after halting maritime traffic, aiming to cut off Ukrainian export corridors. This marks a shift from naval blockade to ground interdiction, potentially crippling Ukraine's grain exports and economic lifeline. The move signals a deliberate strategy to strangle Ukraine's trade, with implications for global food security and the war's trajectory.
