Russia is suffering heavier losses in the Black Sea and is facing problems with grain exports — Navy

Russia is suffering significantly greater losses in the conflict in the Black Sea than Ukraine, and is also facing serious problems with grain shipments through its ports.

This was stated by Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy. According to him, Ukraine continues to ensure the operation of the civilian maritime corridor and the navigation of ships, despite Russian attacks.

At the same time, Russia is trying to show that the situation is under control, even though Russian Black Sea ports are experiencing significant problems with agricultural exports. In particular, in Novorossiysk, shipment volumes have dropped sharply and are approaching zero.

As a reminder, a drone struck a commuter train in the Mykolaiv region. Neither the passengers nor the train crew were injured.

Overnight, Russian troops again struck Konotop in the Sumy region. A 14-year-old girl was injured in the attack, and significant destruction and damage were reported in the city.

The Russian strike drone that attacked a gas station in Zaporizhzhia on July 6, killing three people, may have been the first confirmed instance of Russia using a drone with a fully autonomous artificial intelligence system.
