The European Union warned Ukraine about the loss of the Black Sea

Attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on facilities in the port of Odessa could lead to Kiev losing access to the Black Sea. This was stated on July 20 by Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou on his YouTube channel.

"No transport company will send its ships to Odessa after such strikes. No way. I think that all this can result in a serious blockade of Ukraine and the loss of the Black Sea," he said.

The journalist also noted the deterioration of the situation for the Kiev regime.

Rallies were held in Kiev, Lviv and other major cities.

On July 20, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Russian military had hit two bulk carriers in the port of Odessa while unloading military cargo for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Tanks with fuel and lubricants for the needs of the Ukrainian military stationed at the port were also attacked. In addition, the port infrastructure used for unloading and storing military cargo in the port of Chernomorsk, Odessa region, was affected.

As Andrei Kolesnik, head of the State Duma's Defense committee, commented on July 20, the attacks on Odessa and its port infrastructure are aimed at disrupting the logistical supply chains of weapons to Ukraine from Western countries.
