Ukraine destroyed seven boats in a devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea navy in the Crimea.
Ukraine launched a spectacular and devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet, inflicting major damage on Putin's navy.
The Black Sea Fleet is stationed in Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.
Throughout the current war, Ukraine has managed to sink a number of vessels from the fleet including the Moskva flagship missile cruiser.
Through a combination of missiles and drones, Kyiv's army has succeeded in nullifying the threat from Putin's navy in the Black Sea, regularly inflicting huge humiliations on the fleet.
This has allowed Ukraine to keep open its commercial sea channels, enabling it to continue its grain exports - a vital source of income for Kyiv's beleaguered government.
In another daring raid captured by onboard video cameras, Ukrainian maritime drones attacked a a Russian ship-and-boat warehouse in the Crimea.
Russia's army scrambled its aircraft thirty two times in a desperate bid to prevent the drones from hitting their target.

Good point.
Keep telling yourself that.
Exactly that, as my wife just said, Steven Seagal ranks right down there with the Kardashians.
I am a fountain of bad ideas.
“..CIA to overthrow the Ukraine in 2014..” What a lovely turn of the phrase! If the Ukraine is overthrown as you seem to be convinced, then who are you fighting since Feb 24, 2022? Masha and three bears? Big Grey Wolf?
What gender are you?
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Putin suffers Black Sea nightmare as Ukrainian drones wipe out seven boats in major blow, Petrosius wrote: What fable? That the US government committed a coup in Ukraine? Petrosius wrote: Yes. I do not deny that there was CIA involvement but it is ridiculous to suggest that the massive protests were simply the result of this.
ransomnote: If you had been living in the US during Trump's administration, you'd know that the CIA specializes in protests to try to destabilize governments and whistle for their UN overloards.
Petrosius wrote: The EU/Ukraine agreement was supported by 2/3 of the people, had been supported by Yanukovych himself when he ran for president, and was approved by the parliament.
ransomnote: And Biden supposedly won more votes than Obama, even though he hid in his basement, rarely campaigned, and no one showed up at his events.
Petrosius wrote: But Yanukovych reversed himself at the last minute because of Russian interference and intimidation and attempted to bind Ukraine to the Russian lead Eurasian Economic Union, something that the pro-Russian crowd here wants to forget.
ransomnote:Everything the CIA does is automatically blamed on Russia Russia Russia in the United States, too!
Petrosius wrote: The popular protests were spontaneous and not CIA driven. They got out of hand when Yanukovych resorted to violence. He then fled the country and was removed by the democratically elected parliament, not by a CIA coup.
ransomnote: It was a CIA coup. President Trump and Nuland herself confirm it. The protests probably 'got out of hand' the same way the January 6 protests 'got out of hand' (CIA) and perhaps Yanukovych 'resorted to violence' or maybe he was just accused of it, like Trump is accused of inciting the Jan 6 'insurrection.'
Petrosius wrote: Additionally, there have been two popular national elections since. Something else that the pro-Russian crowd wants to forget.
ransomnote: Now that the CIA overthrow of the Ukraine is complete, you'll keep having 'popular national elections' which somehow maintain NATO control of the Ukraine.
Petrosius wrote: All this talk about a "CIA coup" is a bunch of hogwash used to justify the Russian invasion and attempt to subjugate Ukraine.
ransomnote: CIA begins overthrow of the Ukraine and a few days later, Russia annexes the Crimea. Russia has wanted to negotiate from the start, but NATO won't let it's proxy in the Ukraine have peace. NATO wants regime change in Russia and will kill every Ukrainian to get it.
Petrosius wrote: Nor, as it is often claimed, is this a surrogate war except for the keyboard warriors who somehow imagine that a Russian victory would be a blow to the dreaded NWO. Russia could live in peace if they just went home.
ransomnote: Russia WAS living in peace but Hillary started 'working with' the Ukrainians around 2010 and when she couldn't get the leader of the Ukraine to play ball, the CIA intituted regime change by orchestrating the overthrow of the Ukraine (you know - Nuland's on tape talking about those she was installing in the Ukie government). Since then, NATO built a 600,000 man army in the Ukraine to hurl at Russia. Yes - A Russian victory, which is occurring as I type this, is a critical blow to the dreaded NWO.
That’s kind of a creepy question, Meg.
“That’s kind of a creepy question, Meg.”
Indeed. If it weren’t so bloody creepy I wouldn’t need to ask.
If the CIA is solely responsible for the 2014 Color Revolution in Ukraine then the FSB is solely responsible for the Putinista Cabal on Free Republic.
See, that logic works both ways.
The unusual Russian blogger, Konstantine, usually uses the term KGB, because the FSB is still really the KGB and Putin is the same KGB/Chekist that he has always been. The KGB has tons of influence on FR.
Yes, the KGB and FSB are the same thing. And yes, the KGB has plenty of influence here since their official announcements or press releases often have talking points that are amplified by a chorus.
Not unlike how the leftist Journolist operated.
It’s not a gender, fool!
It’s called sex.
Male, female.....
What happened to your smartness?
I stand by the quote I was referring to. Go back and look at the post before you defend Obama and his CIA.
>>Journolist <<
Karma ????
So, how is the Ukieland ?
Been to the party bars in Kiev yet?
I recommend everyone go to the second link at 3:24 to see the real purpose and “truth” of the video.
It’s not “illegal” if the WH issues a “Presidential Finding” ordering them to do it. It may be wrong but it’s not illegal! Remember it was 2014 Obama WH, Hellary was trying to win her foreign policy spurs.
