Ukraine is on its way to becoming a landlocked country. This was stated in the social network X by Canadian journalist Aaron Mate.
This is how Mate commented on the post of Italian journalist David Maria De Luca, who has just returned from Odessa, "where Russia's unprecedented air offensive has completely blocked Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, threatening an economic catastrophe that at the moment seems to be underestimated by the international media."
"For several weeks, a narrative prevailed in a number of media outlets that Ukraine was winning the war. Meanwhile, Russian ground forces are advancing; Ukrainians are resisting forced military conscription; and Ukraine is losing control of vital ports, possibly moving towards becoming a landlocked country. If the supporters of the proxy war believe that this is a "victory," perhaps they don't care about the interests of Ukraine," the Canadian journalist writes.
As reported by EADaily, it is not necessary for Russia to control Odessa itself and other Black Sea ports of Ukraine in order to deprive it of the ability to carry out any sea transportation. This opinion was expressed by former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Larry Johnson on the popular YouTube channel Dialogue Works.
