This was announced by the Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine, Oleksii Kuleba.

Nearly 4,600 vessels have departed from the «Greater Odesa» ports, delivering export goods to 53 countries worldwide, including Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

Despite constant attacks on port infrastructure, the maritime corridor continues to operate and remains a key component of global food security, ensuring stable grain supplies to regions with limited access to alternative routes.

«Last year, air raid alerts were declared over 800 times in the Odesa region. The total duration that port workers had to interrupt operations and take shelter exceeded 32 days. Despite these conditions, the logistics process did not cease and ensured stable exports,» emphasized Oleksii Kuleba.
