- **Nightly Russian drone attacks on Ukraine's River Danube ports are threatening to choke off one of Kyiv's vital economic lifelines.**
Attacks which began over a month ago have intensified in recent days.
Each morning brings news of fresh explosions at grain storage facilities and port infrastructure in and around the inland ports of Reni and Izmail.
Ukraine is a major global supplier of grain, but the war has severely disrupted supplies.
On Thursday night, 14 Russian Shahed drones were destroyed over the Odesa region, which includes the Danube ports, according to regional governor Oleg Kiper.
But enough drones get through to cause considerable damage.
"More than 270,000 tonnes of grain has been destroyed during these attacks," Denys Marchuk, Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Agrarian Council, told the BBC.
"They destroy the infrastructure, elevators where grain for export to foreign markets is stored."
On Thursday, President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed for help during a call with the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.
"We need partners to help us strengthen the air defence of the Odesa region," he tweeted afterwards.
What was the Ukraine grain deal?Russia's new tactic for cutting off Ukraine's grain
Russia began to focus its drone attacks on the Danube ports after pulling out of the internationally brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative in mid-July, arguing that Russia's own agricultural exporters were being disadvantaged.
The initiative was designed to give safe passage to ships carrying grain to global markets.
Since Russia pulled out, only a handful of vessels, none of them carrying grain, have been able to sail from Ukraine's Black Sea ports.
As a result, the Danube route has become more vital than ever.
In theory it is safer, as vessels entering the Black Sea from the mouth of the river immediately enter Romanian territorial waters.
Most head for the Romanian port of Costanta, for shipment onwards.
Mr Marchuk said it's obvious why Russia is attacking the Danube ports.
"Russia is doing this because the reduction of exports from Ukraine potentially opens up new foreign markets for them," he said.
"They want to conquer new markets that Ukraine will not be able to supply."
Grain is still being loaded at Reni and Izmail, he said, but the threat of Russian attacks is driving up insurance costs and deterring shipping companies.
In June and July, Ukraine exported around two million tonnes per month through the Danube, with plans to raise this to around three million.
Despite the attacks, exports actually rose in August, to 2.5 million tonnes, but with shipping costs rising, it is becoming less and less worthwhile for Ukraine's farmers.
Denys Marchuk said it was impossible to predict what the future would bring.
"There have been too many attacks in the last five days," he said. "It's very intense."
He echoed the president's call for international assistance.
"We would like to hope that they [the Russians] will not be able to keep doing this and that with the help of our partners we will be able to protect the port infrastructure."
The Black Sea Grain Initiative remains on hold, despite recent efforts by Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to persuade Vladimir Putin to change his mind.
For the time being, the Danube route is by far the most important alternative.
Other routes exist, by road and rail, but are less efficient.
- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.
