Russia Says It Destroys Ukraine's 'Last Warship'

Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that its forces had destroyed what it described as Ukraine's "last warship" two days ago in the port of Odesa in a missile strike, though there was no immediate comment from Kyiv on the fate of the vessel.

Ukraine's armed forces did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, with Disney destroying themselves, probably a good idea to get the money up front

I guess that means the great Black Sea naval fleet battles are finally over, and the mighty Russian fleet will cruise the shorelines of the enemy with impunity, waving their victory flags and tossing occasional shells into the dachas of the corrupt plutocrats....

Lol! What clowns.

Agreed—He might pick crazy women-—but I would want any money paid up front, also.

Depp has always been creepy weird. Just don’t see the draw. It is said he has to have someone read his lines to him at each take.

The series has earned 4.5 billion at the box office. Getting his 300 million. 6.6 % of that take, up front is smart.
