kraine is talking about using Western weapons to target Russia's Black Sea fleet amid the ongoing war, according to the country's deputy defense minister.
Volodymyr Havrylov told The Times on Monday that attacking the fleet could help Ukraine take back Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
"Russia will have to leave Crimea if they wish to exist as a country," the British newspaper quoted Havrylov as saying.
"We have a permanent threat from the Russian Black Sea fleet. Given the new technologies and capabilities we receive, we have to address this threat," he continued. "We are ready to target them all over the Black Sea if we have that capability."
U.S.-supplied weapons have reportedly helped Ukraine push back against Russia in recent days. Last week, Ukraine said that it destroyed two Russian ammunition depots in the southern city of Nova Kakhovka using American-made HIMARS multiple rocket launcher vehicles. A report published by The Moscow Times on Monday said that Russia is struggling to protect its tanks from weapons sent to Ukraine from the United States.
A senior U.S. Department of Defense official said during a background briefing at the Pentagon last week that American-supplied weapons to Ukraine are having a "significant impact on what's going on, on the front lines."
The Black Sea touches the borders of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Bulgaria, Georgia and Romania. The Crimean peninsula is in the Black Sea.

How long will it take for Russia to win the war it supposedly won already?
Obama, the little man behind President Depends.
Of course, even assuming the already prostrate UFA could drive the Russians from Crimea, such an escalation would end badly for NATO and Ukraine. As a practical matter, there is nothing Ukraine can do to cause Russia to cease to exist as a country. The statement is delusional.
"The greenhorn thought that getting close to the grizzly and flicking spitballs at it would help him take back his hunting territory from the bear."
Cut to the chase. Target the Kremlin.
The rest of the world just hasn't figured it out yet.
All those destroyed tanks, aircraft, and the Moskva?
Those were all part of the plan. Everything is going to plan...
Nothing in war is certain. This war has already surprised just about everyone.
WW 2.5
George Soros described the reasons for the situation in Ukraine literally in two sentences
“We have a fund in Ukraine, and it turned out to be one of the best”
“I also want to mention that there is one person who has been very deeply involved in Ukraine and that is Biden.”

“Target the Kremlin”
30 seconds of drones over the Kremlin.
Sounds like more than a few of those countries got "demilitarized"...
This just feeds into the Russian point of view, that Ukraine can never be trusted to ever sign a peace treaty. Bellicose talk like this just reinforces the point of view that Ukraine cannot co-exist, must be completely conquered. They reason that with the west hiding behind a proxy, they cannot leave even a sliver of Ukraine for attacks to be launched from. Crimea is gone. Smell the coffee.
methinks if you are truly planning to attack someone, you don’t give the US MSM advanced notice.
Therefore, its purely propaganda.
Yes I would at least like to see major fireworks for my 50 billion.
“Russia will have to leave Crimea if they wish to exist as a country,”
Sounds like a low budget foreign film 🤪
