Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

After the beginning of the invasion, the nature of transportation from Sevastopol changed. Russia also used to transport grain from Sevastopol, but these were mostly small shipments to Russian ports, including the Caucasus port in the Kerch Strait. Large amounts of cargo were sent to Turkish ports.

But in March and April, Russia increased traffic from Sevastopol, and from there, the filled ships went to Egypt, Libya, Lebanon and Syria.

We also looked at satellite images of Sevastopol. The pictures show an increase in grain shipments near the Avlita terminal. Last year's photos consistently showed an absence of crowding of freight trucks near the port. But in April 2022, the number of trucks increased dramatically, and loaded cargo vessels began to regularly depart from the port.
