> The Financial Times says Ukraine has nearly lost its main export route after severe damage to its Black Sea ports, with shipping in the Odesa region suspended. Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotsky warned that a continued shutdown could cost Kyiv at least $8 billion from June 2026 to June 2027. Farmers said wheat prices fell from $220 to $130 a tonne.
