Losses linked to the shutdown of a major Ukrainian port have exceeded five billion dollars, according to a report from the Russian state news agency TASS.
The report says the shutdown at the port of Odesa has been in effect since July 22, with the extended closure contributing to the accumulated financial losses cited.
Further details on the methodology used to calculate the loss figure, as well as the specific reasons behind the extended shutdown, were not included in the available reporting.
Ukrainian officials were not quoted directly in the report confirming or disputing the figure. Given the source's origin, the reported numbers should be weighed alongside independent verification where available, as is generally advisable when assessing claims from state-affiliated outlets about the ongoing conflict.
Odesa has remained a focal point of the broader war's impact on Ukraine's economy, given its role as one of the country's principal Black Sea ports for agricultural and other exports.
