PUTIN’S newest and only remaining missile cruiser in the Black Sea was destroyed by Ukraine forces in a huge blow to his naval forces.
The “Zyklon” was destroyed alongside the 266-M minesweeper, Kovrovets, in a devastating strike at the weekend.
The Zyklon is the 26th to be sunk by Ukraine and was blown up by US-supplied ATACMS missiles killing six people and injuring 11, sources said.
It comes after Russia retreated its naval headquarters from the occupied Crimean Peninsula to Krasnodor.
The Zyklon, which was launched into service in July last year, was a Karakut-class missile ship armed with various weapons, including Kalibr warheads.
Its sinking is part of Ukraine’s ongoing campaign targeting the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

“You won’t be laughing when you get our invoice. TANSTAAFL chums!”
We already got screwed for $61 billion. Are more demands on the way?
“Zyklon” is Russian for “Cyclone”.
Another victory for England! British rocket, fired by British Crew, using CIA coordinates. England wins again! Try it in the Baltic next. Keep poking the Bear, if the Balloon goes up, London is Gone along with Southampton. Will America help you rebuild? If there is an America?
When a Russian army takes a village, another Russian ship is sunk. Its a pattern.
With a name like “Zyklon” (as in Zyklon-B, the nerve gas that killed Jewish people in the gas chambers?), it deserves to be sunk.
