Strikes on Ukrainian ports are an economic war against Ukraine, - Budanov
"Since July Russia has been carrying out a systematic campaign against our ports: Odesa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhne, and the Danube ports. The goal is to stop Ukrainian exports. This is an economic war, which is reflected in the situation on the ground: less revenue for the state, therefore fewer resources for the military. The Black Sea is not a local problem. Global food security and the maritime security of Europe and the Mediterranean pass through it."
