UKRAINIAN authorities say ships are going in and out of Ukrainian Black Sea ports in increasing numbers along the new trade lane skirting the shore to avoid Russians.
Over the weekend five more ships headed to Ukrainian Black Sea ports, while another three left the country laden with grain and iron ore, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
Nevertheless, Russian drones continue to attack Ukrainian grain export infrastructure with a number of warehouses hit.
With the southwest of the Black Sea increasingly congested, thanks to the port of Constanta becoming a hub for Ukrainian exports, the potential for shipping accidents is growing, made all the more likely by Russian meddling with GPS.
Romania's chief of defence staff, General Daniel Petrescu, said last week that Russia is "actively and constantly" jamming the GPS communications of ships in Romanian territorial waters, which might cause ship collisions.
