It should be noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to regularly fire the Black Sea ports of Ukraine after termination of the grain agreement, as stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. In particular, from August to November 2023, the ports of Russian rockets and Dronov-Kamikadze suffered ports of Odessa, Black Sea, Izmail, Reni. Romania regions were also suffering from shelling - Russian drone fragments were found in this country.
However, even in the absence of a grain agreement, foreign vessels that exported Ukrainian grain and food products began to come to the ports of Ukraine. At the same time, the Russians continued to strike on the ports, and it was on November 8 that a direct hit on a foreign ship. We remind that German journalists got into the headquarters of the Armed Forces Unit, which controls shock drones. A fighter who arrived from Germany got into the frame.
