Ukraine has made significant gains in the battle for the Black Sea, establishing a new shipping corridor and increasing trade volumes through its ports of Odessa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdenny. This has led to a decline in Russia's dominance of the Black Sea, despite Ukraine not having a working warship. The West and Ukraine are also aiming to reduce Russia's total export revenues through effective oil sanctions, potentially slashing it to $230 billion from $628 billion in 2022 and $460 billion in 2023.
