# Ukrainian Strikes and Shipping Restrictions Stall Three Russian Ports as Grain Exports Hit 17-Year Low.

> Russian ports in Rostov-on-Don, Taganrog and Azov largely halted operations after Ukrainian strikes damaged port infrastructure and shipping restrictions affected the Sea of Azov. SovEcon estimated that Russia shipped 1.8 million metric tons of grain in September, the lowest monthly volume in 17 years; some cargo has shifted to northwestern routes.

## Why it matters

Reduced capacity at these ports limits Russian grain export flows and could tighten nearby export availability, lending support to competing grain prices. Rerouting shipments may partly offset the disruption but adds reliance on alternative routes.
