Ukrainian officials are highlighting a milestone, reporting that cargo transported through the sea corridor has now reached 200 million tons.
The Ukrainian sea corridor, which has been actively functioning since September 2023, has already facilitated the transportation of 200 million tons of cargo. Of this amount, 118 million tons consist of grain, highlighting the importance of Ukrainian ports for the global agricultural market.
In total, more than 7,800 vessels have been processed, said deputy prime minister for restoration of Ukraine, minister for communities and territories development of Ukraine, Oleksii Kuleba.
“Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian seaports have already processed almost 35 million tons of cargo. Ukrainian cargo has been sent to 56 countries around the world. This is the result of the daily work of thousands of people in extremely difficult conditions. Port workers, logisticians, sailors, dispatchers, engineers and repair crews work under fire, restore damaged infrastructure and ensure the movement of vessels. It is thanks to their work that Ukraine remains part of the global food system and fulfills its responsibility to dozens of countries,” said Kuleba.
The corridor continues to operate despite Russia’s systematic attacks on ports, logistics infrastructure and energy facilities, trying to destabilize exports and disrupt global food security, the official noted.
New data released from the ministry for development of communities and territories of Ukraine highlight that in April alone, over 500 UAV attacks on logistics infrastructure were recorded.
Since the start of the full-scale war, the ministry said 935 port infrastructure facilities and 191 civilian vessels have been damaged or partially destroyed.
The government, in collaboration with industry experts, continues to work on strengthening the protection of ports and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of logistics chains, which is critically important for further stable exports and the support of global food security.
