Russian strikes on Ukrainian industry, energy, and transport

Overview

Russian military operations against Ukrainian maritime infrastructure, industrial sites, and logistics have intensified. Moscow’s priority remains halting the maritime delivery of military equipment, ammunition, and fuel. Recent strikes in the port of Yuzhny targeted a tanker-type vessel carrying fuel and lubricants, while strikes in the Odesa region hit trucks transporting military cargo. Escalating attacks on Odesa ports have severely disrupted grain exports, a critical sector accounting for over half of Ukraine’s export revenue. Farmers face potential losses estimated at up to $2.5 billion this year as harvest quantities lack buyers or storage space. The disruption has led to a more than 90 percent drop in weekly shipments of grains and oilseeds since early July, forcing a shift toward more expensive land and river routes.

Russian forces have expanded their targeting of logistics and maritime assets. Recent operations include strikes on dry cargo ships near Odesa and Chernomorsk, the ‘Bloom’ logistics center, and the Mikulichi warehouse. In October 2026, Russia reported striking the Palba Mill Print facility in Kyiv, used for missile and drone production, and a workshop for uncrewed boats in Chernomorsk. Maritime strikes have also targeted vessels in the Buzkyi Liman and various bulk carriers intended for military supply.

Russia has also escalated strikes against digital and energy infrastructure. Since early September, systematic physical attacks on data centers in Kyiv and Odesa—such as ‘ATM Ukrsibbank’ and TeNet—have aimed to ‘disrupt the flow of information and destabilize daily life’. These strikes impact essential services including banking, government registries, and telecommunications. Concurrently, intensified attacks on electrical substations and energy facilities have caused widespread power outages and water disruptions, which the UN Commission of Inquiry suggests may constitute war crimes as the heating season begins.
