[Korrespondent] The Russian fleet has sailed the Black Sea since 1783, but "now Russia is forced to confine its fleet to the port."
Russia, without stopping its large-scale military aggression against Ukraine, continues to suffer significant losses, in particular, the Black Sea Fleet has so far lost its functional activity, noted British Defense Minister Grant Shapps.
Thus, a British official reacted to today's defeat by the Ukrainian Defense Forces of two Russian large landing ships Yamal and Azov in occupied Crimea.
“The ongoing illegal occupation of Ukraine by Putin causes enormous damage to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which is now functionally inactive,” the head of the British Ministry of Defense said in a publication.
He noted that the Russian fleet has sailed in the Black Sea since 1783, but “now Russia is forced to limit its fleet to the port.”
“And even there Putin’s ships are sinking!” – states Shapps.
Earlier today, March 24, the Department of Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Defense Forces carried out attacks on targets of the Russian occupiers in Sevastopol. Two landing ships Yamal and Azov were destroyed. The communications center of the Russian occupation forces and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in temporarily occupied Sevastopol were also hit.
