Russia is considering the possibility of restricting shipping in the Sea of Azov due to the increasing attacks from Ukraine. This was reported on Tuesday by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The ministry stated that, together with relevant agencies and business representatives, alternative sea transport routes are already being developed. At the same time, Russian authorities claim that the export of agricultural products will continue in full volume, as reported by LETA. The Sea of Azov remains one of the key logistics routes for exporting grain and other agricultural products, including from the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia, as well as for supplying annexed Crimea. The Ministry of Agriculture assured that the current situation will not affect food supplies to the domestic market or the country's export capabilities. If necessary, logistics will be redirected through other routes. A similar statement was made by the Ministry of Transport of Russia. They reported that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure uninterrupted cargo transportation amid the increased number of attacks on civilian vessels in the Sea of Azov. If necessary, some cargo may be transferred to other modes of transport. Meanwhile, the commander of Ukraine's Drone Forces stated that over the past nine days, Ukrainian military forces have struck 116 vessels in the Sea of Azov, including tankers and bulk carriers. According to him, the goal of the operation is to damage the so-called Russian "shadow fleet" and limit fuel supplies to the territory of occupied Crimea. In addition, in recent weeks, Ukraine has significantly intensified the use of long-range drones against targets deep within Russian territory. According to Ukrainian sources, these strikes have already led to disruptions in fuel supplies in several regions of Russia. If the intensity of the attacks continues, Russia may change the existing logistics routes in the Sea of Azov, which could complicate maritime transport in the region and affect the supply of occupied territories. At the same time, the statements from both sides cannot yet be independently verified in full.
