Reuters: Creșterea atacurilor din Marea Neagră amenință aprovizionarea globală cu cereale și petrol
The increase in attacks on ships and ports in the Black Sea is disrupting global grain and oil supplies, escalating the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Both countries have intensified strikes on each other's export facilities, affecting maritime operations and raising shipping costs. Ukraine is targeting Russian oil tankers, while Russia is attacking Ukrainian ports, particularly around Odesa, crucial for agricultural exports. The situation is causing delays in shipping and increasing insurance costs, with potential impacts on global oil supply. Alternative export routes are being sought, but they won't reach full capacity soon, exacerbating the crisis.
