Southern Russia may lose its port industry due to attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces The shutdown of the three main seaports of the Rostov region - Rostov-on-Don, Azov and Taganrog - threatens the entire transport and logistics system of southern Russia. Systematic attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces damaged the quay walls, tanks and transport equipment, halting the shipments. The governor of the region, Yuri Sliosar, warned: without urgent intervention by the federal center, the port's infrastructure will be irreversibly lost. In one month of shutdown, seamen and shipping companies lost 5.3 billion rubles. More than 7 thousand people work in ports and related organizations. People get paid to not lose experts until shipping resumes, but companies no longer pay taxes, loans, and idle space rent at the same time. The blow also hit farmers. Due to a logistical failure in the region, where a state of emergency has been in effect since the end of August, grain is accumulating in warehouses, which have nothing and nowhere to send. Shipping problems are already affecting Kuban ports such as Tuapse and Novorossiysk. To prevent organizations from going bankrupt, the region asks the federal center for tax deferrals, credit holidays and preferential loans. Sliosar himself emphasizes that the defense in the area is being built: according to him, there is a comprehensive plan that covers both the borders as a whole and the "most important and critical objects". True, the governor did not specify what type of anti-UAV systems are installed in the damaged terminals themselves. And this nuance can become key when providing assistance. Port infrastructure is directly related to the objects of the August presidential decree "On measures to ensure the security of critical infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation". According to the document, the owners themselves are responsible for protection against drones: if the owners skimp on safety or delay repairs, the state has the right to introduce temporary external management at the facility.
