KYIV — The Ukrainian port of Odesa was not operating on Sunday after the latest Russian attack on the region’s energy system, Agriculture Minister Mykola Solsky said, but he added that grains traders were not expected to suspend exports. Two other ports — Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi — authorized to export grains from Ukraine under a deal between Russia and Ukraine were partially operating, he said. Solsky said that Odesa port was not operating at the moment because the power generators had not been switched on yet. Grains traders continued to ship grains via the two other ports, he said. Since October, Moscow has been targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with large waves of missile and drone strikes.
