Russia continued to attack south of Ukraine which it started a long back after discontinuing from Black Sea Grain Deal. It attacked the main inland port which was on the bank of the Danube near the Romanian border. A grain silo was damaged in Odessa which has been under a strong target by Russians.
Oleh Kiper, the governor of Odessa wrote via messaging app that there were no casualties, Izmail was the main target cited by the agencies. Chicago wheat prices soared 4% and continued the rally even. Operations were suspended at the port of Izmail after the strikes.
The port has effectively worked to export Ukraine’s grain after Russia stepped down from the deal, Izmail was an oblast until 1954 when it joined Odessa Oblast.

What’s Next for Central Europe?
Interestingly for the Central European countries, this new boom after the Cold War can be seen as a way to expand their programs for warfare and boost the economy through labour. It is seen that the manufacturers are trying their best to lure the workers/labourers to offer them various facilities.
From providing free canteen meals to the workers and setting up new apartments for new employees these are few of the amenities being provided. New guns, shells, armour and other military supplies are soaring and predicting a good future in the sense.
Various companies have begun to induct retired workers at the canteen. The Czech Republic and Poland have lowered their unemployment rate to 2.7 percent for June even performing better than the European Union which had an average figure of 5.9 percent.
Czech explosive company Explosia, posted a revenue of $55 million last year. Polish military technology company WB Group has even started hiring women on a larger scale.
Ukraine has seen a significant drop of 40 per cent in its grain export from June, Kyiv said that Moscow till now has targeted 26 port facilities, a few civilian vessels and around 180000 tonnes of grain in the short span of strikes and shot down twenty-three drones which were targeting the capital.
Jiri Hynek, the executive director and president of the Defense and Security Association (DSIA) in Prague has claimed that the country accounted for around 40 percent of exports to Ukraine and requires young technical workers to boost production. The current production of ammunition is based on 90 per cent of exports only, the Czech government sent a military supply worth $1.84 billion in the first of the war which included 89 tanks, 226 armoured vehicles and air defence systems.
Ukraine in Tussle
The cost of goods has increased from 30 per cent to 70 per cent said the local shopkeeper who has a shop on the roadside of the connecting road, there are only two roads connecting the area, one road which goes through the southern tip of Moldova while a railroad bridge which has been a constant target by Russians.
Various photos of steel being twisted were seen through a messaging app in the water which is claimed to be the debris of the steel which was shot by Russians.
The River ports aren’t equipped that well to handle huge amounts of cargo flow. The gas prices and difficult transport make it difficult for people to gain profit. Areas like Bessarabia do share the same trait with Crimea is under speculation since it has a neutral population of Ukrainians and Russians and does follow the Soviet style.
