The Ukrainian maritime corridor continues to operate steadily and ensures the export of goods even under constant attacks. Since its launch in September 2023, the corridor has transported 168.9 million tons of cargo, of which 100 million tons were grain.
For the fourth consecutive year, Russia has been systematically attacking Ukraine’s civilian and critical infrastructure — ports, logistics, and energy — attempting to destabilize exports and deliberately undermine global food security. Recently, Russia has significantly increased the number of attacks on ships and ports. Between December 2, 2025, and January 12, 2026 (a period of 40 days), 10% of all infrastructure destruction since 2022 occurred.
Despite constant attacks and threats, Ukraine’s logistics system continues to function. More than 40% of the cargo transported through the Ukrainian maritime corridor was handled in 2025, despite the attacks and dangers.
“Behind every figure in this statistic are people — port workers, logisticians, sailors, dispatchers, engineers, and repair crews. They work in extremely difficult and dangerous conditions, yet ensure daily the movement of ships and the fulfillment of export contracts. Thanks to their work, Ukraine remains part of the global food system and fulfills its responsibility to dozens of countries,” said Oleksiy Kuleba, Vice Prime Minister for Ukraine’s Recovery and Minister for Communities and Territories Development.
Despite ongoing attacks and threats from the terrorist state, Ukraine is not isolated. The logistics system operates, ports function, and decisions are made based on the real security situation. The Ukrainian maritime corridor remains a reliable export route, continues to deliver Ukrainian products to global markets, and ensures global food security.
