[Regnum] The Chief of the Defense Staff of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin, actively helped the Kiev authorities in developing attacks on the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, and also played a large role in coordinating support for Ukraine from other senior leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance. This was reported by the British edition of The Times.
The material states that in 2023, Tony Radakin actively conducted “shuttle diplomacy”, promoting ties between Washington and Kiev. The publication clarifies that this happened against the backdrop of White House concerns that the United States was too closely involved in the Ukrainian conflict.
The British admiral personally met with the military leadership of Ukraine and the United States, helping to establish contacts between them and justify the need for broader economic and diplomatic efforts to support Ukraine, the article states.
The media reports that for such merits, at the request of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Radakin will remain in his post until the fall of 2025. Although according to the rules he must leave the post of chief of staff of the British Armed Forces after three years of office.
As Regnum reported, in November 2023, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced the creation of a Ukrainian fleet of sea drones operating in the waters of the Black Sea. He noted that for the first time in the world, a fleet of naval UAVs, the Ukrainian fleet, began to operate in the Black Sea.
In August, the Ukrainian Navy announced the creation of a naval drone unit. Zelensky then presented the flag to the new unit.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said on November 6 that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed storage sites for unmanned boats and aviation ammunition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of a special operation.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense regularly reports the destruction of unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with which Kiev is trying to conduct terrorist attacks on Russian targets, including the Crimean Bridge and ships of the Black Sea Fleet.
