Ukraine's Black Sea ports fight to stay open as Russian drones target wartime lifeline

Ukraine's Black Sea ports are struggling to remain operational amid relentless attacks from Russian drones, which aim to cut off the country's vital wartime supply line. The situation took a significant turn in February 2022 when Russia's Black Sea fleet seemed dominant; however, after Ukraine's successful strike on the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian fleet, the balance has shifted. This ongoing battle is crucial because it directly impacts Ukraine's ability to export grain and other essential supplies, highlighting the broader struggle for control over strategic maritime routes.
