Ukrainian Military Sinking Russia’s Black Sea Fleet

It has been reported that the Ukrainian military, even though it doesn’t possess a seagoing Navy, has been able to destroy 1/3 of the Russian Federation’s Black Sea fleet, which numbered around 80 military vessels.

This is, again, quite an achievement for Ukrainians in the use and application of the new method of warfare called drone warfare to gain an advantage over the Russian military and its Black Sea fleet being forced to withdraw from the Ukrainian drone attack range.

Ukrainians have claimed to have destroyed 25 Russian military ships and have severely damaged 15 ships, according to reporting by Business Insider.

However, in the fog of war, the Russian and Ukrainian public relations officers are promoting propaganda to motivate their respective populations to keep fighting.

Ukraine-Russia War Map

We won’t know the actual costs of manpower and other resources in the Ukraine conflict until the war’s conclusion, whether by Ukraine’s victory, Russia’s victory, or the nation of Ukraine being divided or partitioned between Western and Eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine will most likely be partitioned.

In 2014, the Ukrainian state was divided between the breakaway Donetsk and Luhansk republics, which were integrated into greater Russia in 2022.
