“Shipping group Maersk said on Tuesday it had halted its service via Ukraine’s Chornomorsk Fishing Port, an announcement made after Russia intensified its attacks on Kyiv’s maritime export routes. Maersk is the second large company to stop operations out of Chornomorsk this month after Ukraine’s top grain exporter Kernel Holding halted operations at the city’s main port last week due to a series of Russian attacks. … Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukraine’s maritime export routes during the war, but the strikes on cargo vessels and deepwater ports that handle much of the country’s grain have intensified in recent weeks. Moscow says its attacks are aimed at infrastructure storing military cargo and fuel.” (07/22/26)
