The terminal, which typically loads 700,000 barrels a day of crude oil, is Russia\u2019s key oil outlet in the Black Sea. Its suspension will add to the strain on Russian infrastructure, which has been repeatedly attacked.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Moscow\u2019s troops <strong>targeted two buses<\/strong> in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, its governor, Oleksandr Ganzha, said on Telegram.
