"Russia's Black Sea Shipping Under Threat: Drone Attacks and Floating Barriers"

Russia has tightened its control over shipping in the Black Sea, imposing restrictions on the movement of ships and aircraft in the Kerch Strait and declaring certain areas as "temporarily dangerous for navigation." This comes as Russia continues to attack Ukrainian ports and grain export sites, disrupting trade in the region. The Russian defense ministry has also created a special inspection area for ships sailing from the Black Sea. The attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure near Romania have been condemned as war crimes by Romania's president. Russia has expressed willingness to return to the Black Sea grain deal if the West meets its obligations regarding Russia's own grain exports.
