Earlier in February 2024, Ukraine claimed to have attacked and destroyed a corvette in Moscow’s fleet.
Russia’s Black Sea Fleet has lost a third of its firepower since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Kyiv has said.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces Center for Strategic Communications (StratCom) reported on Tuesday that Kyiv’s forces have so far «disabled» about 33 percent of the fleet’s warships in the conflict.
The Black Sea Fleet has been targeted by Ukraine as it seeks to reverse Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. The region serves as Moscow’s central logistics hub for its forces in southern Ukraine.
