Ukraine loses about $70 million daily from the downtime of the ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny (the ports of Greater Odessa), according to the calculations of the Ukrainian edition of Ekonomicheskaya Pravda (EP).

"Three ports of Greater Odessa accounted for $2.1 billion worth of goods out of total Ukrainian exports worth $3.5 billion in June. Thus, on average, about $70 million worth of products passed through them every day," the paper said.
