Spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk said in an online post that the Vsevolod Bobrov had been struck near Snake Island, the scene of renewed fighting in recent days.
"Thanks to the actions of our sailors, the Vsevolod Bobrov logistics vessel, one of the latest in the Russian fleet, caught fire.
"They say that it is going to Sevastopol. The information needs to be clarified," Bratchuk said, according to Ukra News.

What happened to the frigate that was supposedly damaged?
Sorry. But the era of the naval surface combatants and armored fighting vehicles in this technologically advanced time is over.

Same can be said for those soft squishy things that are sitting ducks for the first sharp pointy thing that pops up.
“Also, this ship had no defensive systems.”
Apparently neither did the Moskva.
I wish the international authorities would make rules of war requiring there be HD video feeds from all combat devices directly to the major social platforms. This war has terrible entertainment values.
So, how many Russian ships have been damaged so far?
Three by my count... am I right?
RE: Maybe the Russian army doesn’t really mean business until the Hun is at the gates of Moscow.
There has to be a strong MOTIVATION for fighting. I’m still trying to find a strong motivator for the Russian soldier to sacrifice his life in this invasion.
RE: BTW, it wouldn’t surprise me if Biden invaded Russia on June 22, 2022
What’s the significance of that date?
Yup. Ukraine folks have lots of motivation. Russian conscripts, not as much.
That’s why Vlad is recruiting the blood thirsty mooselime criminal Chechens.
The Russians lost a Mi-8 (similar to a Blackhawk) on Snake Island from a drone attack yesterday/last couple of days.
Lots of the invaders were clearly killed:

Couple of landing craft, too.
Yuri, you lost ANOTHER ________!? Fill in the blank.
5.56mm
Five confirmed, one possible:

Large vehicle landing craft
Moscow guided missile cruiser
two small assault boats (think SEAL team size and style insertion craft)
Logistics ship
Unconfirmed:
Frigate
“It came to the Black Sea from the Baltic on 07/01/2022.”
Amazing! The Russians have mastered the time warp!
;)
Europe uses DD/MM/YYYY. So it's January 7, 2022.
You got problems with English comprehension FRiend.
First I was being sarcastic.
Second, Russia is not the one who needs help.
Have you seen a single building in Russia destroyed?
Have you seen complete destruction of Mariupol and devastation of infrastructure in scores of Ukraine cities?
Brandon wants to send $40 BILLION to Ukraine to keep Russia from finishing the war. In other words keep getting involved in foreign wars by borrowing more debt. That can be called pseudo machoism.
June 22, 1941, was the start date of Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s invasion of Russia (Soviet Union).
Ah!
How does one tell the difference reading an article? (Just curious.)
We are sending another $40 Billion to them. Congress approved and Lunch Bucket Joe will sign it. Fast forward the Debt Clock.
“Have you seen a single building in Russia destroyed?”
You mean like the two fuel depots in Bryansk? The arms depot in Kursk? The ammo dump in Staraya Nelidovka? Or the hangars that got blasted at the Baltimor airfield outside of Shilovo?
Nope. I don’t know anything at all about those attacks. They must have been accidental like the cigarette-caused fire on the Moskva.
