Ukraine’s military said Wednesday it sank a Russian landing ship in the Black Sea using naval drones, a report that has not been confirmed by Russian forces.
The Caesar Kunikov amphibious ship sank near Alupka, a city on the southern edge of the Crimean Peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014, Ukraine’s General Staff said. It said the ship can carry 87 crew members.
Sinking the vessel would be another embarrassing blow for the Russian Black Sea fleet and a significant success for Ukraine 10 days before the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.
Ukraine has moved onto the defensive in the war, hindered by low ammunition supplies and a shortage of personnel, but has kept up its strikes behind the largely static 930-mile front line.
It is the second time in two weeks that Ukrainian forces have said they sank a Russian vessel in the Black Sea.

Russian media: Our ship wasn't sunk. It got a new underwater mission.
Scary to think people are realizing were close to nuclear war everyday
How embarrassing the Russians should just give up and go back home
"Ukraine" sure-sure.
The Ukrainian surface drones are essentially improvised surface torpedoes …
and trying to stop a torpedo is not easy.
Now that was a special military operation.
I call B.S.
Ukraine is so corrupt, at this point the world doesn’t really care what happens. The wars are ridiculous
It's an outrage to see Ukraine inflict pain on our friend, ally, and Trump benefactor Putin, the man who stands between traditional fascist Christian values and a liberal world order of human rights and freedom. We should be helping our friend Putin, who gave us President Trump!
Happy valentines day War Criminal Putrid 😆😆
Ukraine says a lot of things Russians are surrendering Russians are retreating we're winning what the f*** ever all government propaganda so you won't complain about your tax dollars coming up missing

It was a nice looking ship with the clipper bow. Now it will be a nice looking submarine with a clipper bow. Maybe Donnie can pony up a billion to replace it, for services rendered of course.

Russia is using warships to ram and sink Ukrainian drones. I suspect Russia will run out of warships and the sailors that man them long before Ukraine runs out of drones and the sailors it takes to control them.
ukr conduct naval warfare w/o navy
Yemen sank 5 cowboy ships and damaged several in 10 days. Hmmm..
