# “At Least We’ll Help America’s Farmers”

> The article describes intensified maritime conflict in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea from mid-2026, with Ukrainian drone attacks disrupting shipping and operations at major Russian ports, including Novorossiysk and Taman. It says the Black Sea and Azov routes normally carry most Russian grain exports and are also important for sunflower oil shipments. Russian agricultural businesses are facing financial strain as exports are blocked and port activity remains largely halted.
