> TASS calculations put Ukraine’s lost foreign-exchange revenue from the Odessa port shutdown at more than $5 billion. Commercial ships continue to avoid Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny; Ukraine exported 44% of its planned agricultural exports in September, while metallurgical exports stopped entirely by the end of the month.
