Russia Claims Strikes Halt Major Ukrainian Black Sea Port Operations

Russian Chief of General Staff Gerasimov announced that systematic strikes on Ukrainian port and logistics infrastructure and sea vessels have halted operations at major Black Sea ports. This is a continuation of Russia's campaign against Ukraine's maritime exports, but the claim of a full halt is unverified and likely overstated. The development threatens Ukraine's grain exports and global food supply, and signals potential escalation in the Black Sea.
