Russian Black Sea Terminal Resumes Crude Loading Despite Weekend Drone Strike

Russia's primary Black Sea oil export facility has resumed crude loading operations following a weekend attack by Ukrainian forces, according to satellite imagery. Moscow warned of systematic and consistent strikes on Kyiv and told U.S. representatives to advise American citizens to leave the capital. The terminal's recovery of export operations reflects Russia's determination to maintain crude shipments despite ongoing security threats. Japan has dispatched senior government officials to Russia to maintain diplomatic channels and safeguard Japanese commercial interests, continuing engagement that began after the Ukraine conflict started.
