October shelling of port infrastructure has caused damage to Ukraine amounting to $30–40 million, according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

Shelling of Ukraine's port infrastructure by Russian occupiers at the beginning of October 2024 is estimated to have caused damage ranging from $30 to $40 million. This information was reported on October 25 by Taras Vysotsky, the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, during a briefing at Media Center Ukraine.
По данным Минагрополитики, октябрьские атаки на портовую инфраструктуру Украины привели к ущербу в размере 30–40 млн долларов.

"It is difficult to provide a final assessment because, unfortunately, cases are still being added and insurance companies are evaluating. Especially after the intense shelling that occurred in early October, the evaluation process is ongoing. However, it is already evident that the damages amount to tens of millions of dollars. Our preliminary estimate for just the latest shelling is between $30 and $40 million," he noted.

The overall losses in the agricultural sector since the beginning of the war are estimated to exceed $10 billion, while the losses specifically in the grain business are around $500 to $600 million, said Vysotsky.
