Last update: 7 hours agoUkraine Energy & Travel Safety: Ukraine’s drone campaign is hitting Russia’s oil export lifelines, with Reuters citing a June cut in Russian crude exports from western ports to about 1.7 million bpd (down from 2.5 million in May) as strikes, fuel shortages and falling production bite—an indirect reminder for travelers that energy disruptions can ripple into transport and services. Maritime Security: Russia attacked ships in the Black Sea corridor, including vessels flying the flags of Barbados and Panama, according to Odesa officials—bad news for any cruise or sea-adjacent travel planning.
