Russian troops relapse from Snake Island, weakening Ukraine port's barricade

Posted on July 11, 2022   |  

  • Russian forces have retreated from the critical outpost on Snake Island in the Black Sea as operations at Ukraine port are likely to resume.
  • Russian forces first captured the Snake Island of Ukraine’s major port of Odessa on February 24, which deteriorated the blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports and soared grain prices.
  • The war is degrading Ukraine's trade and logistics in the Black Sea region, while high shipping costs are initiating a crisis in food-import-dependent countries.
  • Ukraine and Western countries blamed Moscow for the global food shortage, alleging that the Russian forces have hampered the export of Ukrainian grain.
