Rusia lovește podul Maiaki, care leagă sudul Ucrainei de România și Republica Moldova, susține Institutul pentru Studiul Războiului
Russia targeted the Maiaki bridge, disrupting a key route for Ukrainian grain exports to Romania and Moldova, according to the Institute for the Study of War. The attack on August 9 halted traffic on the M-15 road, which is vital for transporting goods via the Danube ports. Conflicting reports emerged about the bridge's condition, with some claiming it was destroyed while others suggested it remained intact. The assault is part of Russia's strategy to choke Ukrainian grain exports, which have increasingly relied on land routes since maritime routes were compromised. Turkey has proposed a moratorium on attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea, awaiting responses from both Russia and Ukraine.
