Ukraine port of Odesa not operating after attack on energy facilities: Minister

The Ukrainian port of Odesa is not operational after the latest Russian attack on the region’s energy system, Agriculture Minister Mykola Solsky has said, but added that grains traders were not expected to suspend exports.

Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi, two other ports authorised to export grains from Ukraine under a deal between Russia and Ukraine, were partially operating.

“Chornomorsk port is now operating at about 80 percent of capacity,” Solsky told Reuters in a phone call.
