This week, not a single large vessel has docked at the ports of Odessa, Nikolayev, or Izmail, amid ongoing Russian strikes, military analyst Andrey Marochko has told TASS.

"Based on the information I’ve received, there have been no arrivals of major ships at these ports since the start of the week," he stated.

Since July 10, the Russian Armed Forces have been consistently targeting the ports of Greater Odessa in southern Ukraine. The strikes have affected not only the port of Odessa itself but also facilities used by Ukrainian forces in Chernomorsk and Yuzhny.
