Ukraine Suspends Sea of Azov Shipping Amid Intensified Drone Attacks on Russian Vessels

Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russian vessels transiting the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, leading to a full suspension of shipping activity in the Sea of Azov. This large-scale maritime drone campaign, dubbed 'Operation MoLoChKa,' aims to restrict Russia's ability to bypass sanctions on energy shipments through the region. The ongoing disruptions are expected to have significant ramifications for global wheat markets.
