> TASS calculations put Ukraine’s export-revenue losses from sea-port downtime since July 22 at about $1.75 billion. No large foreign merchant vessels entered the three largest commercial ports—Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny. Farm exports fell roughly 60%, while iron ore and metals shipments almost stopped.
