Russia said on Monday it is strengthening protection for vessels in the Azov–Black Sea region and developing alternative cargo routes following a recent escalation in maritime attacks between Russia and Ukraine. The transport ministry said hostile drone strikes on ships had heightened tensions in the Sea of Azov, prompting formation of a special task force to map new transport routes and divert some cargo to other modes. Several terminal operators have told authorities they can accept additional volumes within their operational capacity and accelerate cargo handling and shipment. The ministry said it will coordinate additional measures with the defence ministry to secure navigation and protect merchant vessels in the Azov–Black Sea area.
