> The Kyiv Independent reports from Odesa and the surrounding region on intensified Russian attacks threatening the city, its ports and Ukraine’s vital Black Sea trade route. Residents shelter during drone attacks while Ukrainian crews patrol the coast, and commercial vessels and port infrastructure are increasingly targeted, leaving fewer ships willing to enter Ukrainian ports.
