Russia struck the M-15 highway overnight, specifically targeting the Mayaki bridge, a vital link connecting southern Ukraine to Romania and Moldova. This attack has forced Ukraine to suspend all traffic heading towards its Danube River ports, which have become critical for grain exports since Black Sea routes were blocked. The Mayaki bridge is strategically important as it facilitates trade with both Romania and Moldova. The disruption threatens Ukraine’s ability to fulfill grain commitments and further impacts global food security. Ukrainian authorities have confirmed the halt in traffic while assessing damage and seeking alternative routes. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported on the strike, highlighting its significance to Ukraine’s export capabilities. This latest action underscores Russia’s continued targeting of Ukrainian infrastructure.
