Ukraine says 25 Russian grain vessels made about 50 direct voyages from closed ports between January and April, with over half shipped from Sevastopol.
Another 13% was transported from the Sea of Azov ports of Mariupol and Berdiansk, as Kyiv intensifies efforts to curb alleged illegal shipments by Moscow's shadow fleet.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha disclosed the figures, underscoring Ukraine's claims that grain taken from occupied areas is being moved abroad despite the ports' closed status.
