The Black Sea has become the most dangerous sea route in the world: 570 ships were attacked in one year - Financial Times.

These attacks killed at least 40 merchant sailors. While in the Strait of Hormuz, 24 deaths were confirmed.

Only in the third quarter of the year, about 387 ships were attacked, an average of more than 4 per day. According to Embry, Russia has carried out about 90% of the attacks on merchant ships in the last 45 days.

These attacks also spread to areas close to Romania and Bulgaria. The cost of the ship's insurance increased up to 15% of the ship's value.

In August, Ukraine's agricultural exports by sea dropped to 1.4 million tons, about 75% less than before the war.

Ukrainian agricultural companies have warned that if the situation continues as it is, farmers may lack capital for the spring planting season.
