Ukraine's navy said in a statement published on Tuesday that Kyiv had "successfully destroyed" the Konstantin Olshansky, and the three other vessels it targeted since Saturday.

In a later statement, Pletenchuk said the Ivan Khurs reconnaissance ship may have sustained damage. It was one of two of this type of reconnaissance vessel at Russia's disposal ...

Ukraine used a home-grown Neptune anti-ship missile to strike the Konstantin Olshansky, which was being "prepared for use against Ukraine," Pletenchuk said.

Pletenchuk said the attack on the Konstantin Olshansky landing ship had taken place on Saturday, the same day as the strikes on the Yamal and Azov, according to Ukrainian media.

Open-source intelligence accounts and Russian military bloggers reported that Ukraine had used Western-supplied air-launched Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles to strike the Crimean port on Saturday. A total of 18 missiles rained down on Sevastopol, and Russian air defenses intercepted 11 of the missiles, according to the independent Russian outlet Astra.

Kyiv's military intelligence agency said on Monday that the Yamal was in a "critical" condition...

For a country without a navy it is quite amazing how successful Ukraine has been in destroying the Russian BS fleet. Amazing.

The Konstantin Olshansky landing ship, part of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine said it has taken out the Konstantin Olshansky landing ship, after its forces destroyed two large landing ships and a key Russian reconnaissance vessel earlier.

Crimea is useless to the Muscovites if they can’t safely port their ships and personnel there.

I say muskovite, because that is what they are, like most things “Russian” even stacking dolls was stolen from Japan is a fraud and/or stolen.

The term Russia has nothing to do with Moscow and was appropriated, despite putins interview.

What I find additionally fascinating about your comment besides directly breaking the no personal attacks “neocon fags” is that on posts covering ukranian news that are continuation posts and don’t appear on daily posts, you folks are almost complete MIA. Despite cries of ruining FR
HOWEVER , when a new post does appear on daily, you and the usuals swarm in with your wit, memes, personal attacks, and “superior” intellect

Pot calling….

I’m very surprised that the Ukes have not used some type of pontoon drone boat as a seaworthy mobile launchers for these girls.

Meanwhile, millions remain without electricity in Ukraine. Who knows if it is even possible to restore the electric grid in Kharkiv.

Yet, a fool like still is celebrating these insignificant alleged Ukrainian victories.

Talk about winning the battle and losing the war.

I am so glad that President Trump killed so many Russian soldiers while he was President.

I am also glad that he changed the Obama/Biden policy on Ukraine from one of non-lethal aid to lethal aid.

That lethal aid to Ukraine has killed thousands of Russian soldiers.

What lame, idiotic reply.

Russia has liberated more than 40,000 square miles of Ukraine, has taken control of most the Black Sea coastline and continues to gain more territory DAILY.

How much more of Ukraine to you want to see the Russians take before it finally surrenders?

Intentionally destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Nice to see you admit it.

Have fun at The Hague.

We didn't destroy infrastructure in Iraq and Afghanistan?

You're just as a big a hypocrite as any Democrat.

Destroying pipelines, shelling nuclear power plants, using civilians as humans shields and targeting civilians ARE ALL WAR CRIMES, ones the Biden regime is complicit in and, for some reason, you want to defend all that.

Putin is right -- compared to us, the Russians are white, fluffy angels.

How dare you defend what we've done under Obama and Biden. You're scum.
