en.Wedoany.com Reported - Since its launch in September 2023, Ukraine's maritime corridor has achieved a cargo transport volume of 200 million tonnes, including 118 million tonnes of grain, highlighting the importance of Ukrainian ports to the global agricultural market.
Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister of Communities and Territories Development, stated that the corridor has handled over 7,800 vessels. Kuleba revealed that since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian seaports have processed nearly 35 million tonnes of cargo, exported to 56 countries worldwide. He noted that this is the result of the daily work of thousands of people, including port workers, logistics personnel, seafarers, dispatchers, engineers, and maintenance teams, operating under extremely difficult conditions. These individuals work under fire, repairing damaged infrastructure and ensuring vessel passage. Kuleba stated that thanks to their efforts, Ukraine remains part of the global food system and fulfills its responsibilities to dozens of countries.
Despite Russia's systematic attacks on ports, logistics infrastructure, and energy facilities in an attempt to disrupt exports and destabilize global food security, the corridor continues to operate. The latest data released by Ukraine's Ministry of Communities and Territories Development shows that in April alone, over 500 drone attacks were recorded against logistics infrastructure. The Ministry stated that since the start of the full-scale war, 935 port infrastructure facilities and 191 civilian vessels have been damaged or partially destroyed.
The government is working with industry experts to continuously strengthen port protection and ensure the uninterrupted operation of logistics chains, which is crucial for further stabilizing exports and supporting global food security.
