OREANDA-NEWS  Odessa is one of the priorities for the Russian army, and as a result of attacks on transport and port infrastructure, the city found itself in a semi-blockade. This is reported by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

The author of the article notes that residents of Odessa remain without light, water and heating. And all the attacks are aimed at undermining Ukraine's export potential, because the country exports about 90 percent of agricultural products by sea.

Accordingly, according to the author, even a short-term violation of maritime exports can have lasting consequences for Ukraine, and far beyond the conflict.

Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces attacked Odessa, a place where drones could allegedly be flying to the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod region.
