Ukraine says it has badly damaged a Russian naval ship in the Black Sea, in a naval drone attack that was captured on video.
The assault is said to have taken place near the Russian port of Novorossiysk, which is a major hub for Russian exports.
Russia’s defence ministry said it had repelled a Ukrainian attack on its naval base there which involved two sea drones, but did not admit any damage.
But Ukrainian security service sources say Russian military ship, the Olenegorsky Gornyak, was hit and suffered a serious breach in its hull.
Sea drones are small, unmanned vessels which operate on or below the water’s surface.

What is Russia doing that the U.S. would not do if this was happening on our border? This newest endless war to financially benefit the military-industrial complex is killing thousands and displacing millions of Ukrainians, has created a China-Russia counter to NATO, and is just flat dangerous as hell. Where is the PEACE PLAN??!!
Fake news
Oil ship. Is ukraine trying to cause another ecological disaster?
FAKE FAKE FAKE
FAKE FAKE FAKE
1% rich controls 99% of social wealth! The New York Revolution! It's the people beginning of saying no to this damn system!
Today is a historic day. In 1945, the US dropped atomic bomb on Japan. It was the only case in world history. More than 250,000 civilians were killed after 2 bombs 1945
78 years ago, on August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States bombed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The total number of victims of the tragedy is over 450 thousand people, and the survivors still suffer from diseases caused by radiation exposure. According to the latest data, their number is 183,519 people. USA murderers🤮👎
Very good Work 👍👍👍👍👍
The New York Revolution just start! Or rich tax! Or increase the relief fund! Without social welfare, the people only have the path to revolution left!
No problem you can pay them out of the money Obama gave you prove to trash trump

We will never know what's going on with all the bs from the media
Let's wait for Russia retaliation!!!
Let me explain to those who do not understand, this is a civilian ship. Attacking a civilian ship is an act of terrorism.
Let me remind you that recently Ukraine blew up a drone on a civilian building in Moscow. Up to this point, Ukraine has blown up the bridge to the island of Crimea. Now Ukraine is blowing up civilian ships. What is this if not terrorism?
Let's explain. This is a civilian ship. Attacking a civilian ship is a war crime. There is another word – terrorism.
Ukrina again showed that she is a terrorist country. Having attacked just a civilian ship, there is no doubt that the Ukrainian regime is a regime of war criminals.
Glory to Ukraine and its defenders❤🇺🇦💪
Excellent strategic actions!, go on Ukrainians!
Congrats to Ukraine fighters keep up the good fight
yahooooo!!!
Russian are strong forever
Lol when it’s all over.. not much Ukraine will be left even after all these antics it’s pulling..
Call of duty developers: Guys we need to make new shaders again.
Well, why watch BBC propaganda if Russia has overtaken Germany in terms of GDP per capita (2023)….
Ukrainian will keep retaliating as long as Russians march into Ukraine.
Yesterday I saw a very brave freelance journalist deliver a video report from the Russian side of the front line. In that report some soldiers in the trenches – including men local to the Donbas area – gave their answers to questions. The most striking feature of those interviews was their responses to questions along the lines of "What would your message be to Zelensky?". (Interestingly, they tended to pivot the question into 'what would I say to Ukrainian leadership?') In any case, without exception, their responses were peace-oriented, along the lines of "We are all Slavs and should not be killing each other". (Quite insightful when contrasted with the implacable hate-rhetoric coming out of Kiev and the fact that Ukrainian sports-persons cannot find it in their hearts to even touch the hand of a Russian opponent.)
What struck me is the fact that I have never seen a frontline Russian soldier interviewed of the BBC or mainstream western media. Even though we supply weapons as a NATO member, the UK is NOT at war with Russia. Russians are people too: we should be allowed to hear what they have to say about the conflict and so make up our own minds about whether to disregard it. This is like coming across two random guys fighting in the street and listening sympathetically to whatever one says and coaching him, and putting the fore-fingers in the ears and going "La, la, la, la, la" when the second one speaks.
Why also does the BBC use February 24, 2022 as the beginning of time in relation to the conflict? Do British people not have the right to know that the roots of the conflict are in the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest where America decided that it would be advantageous to invite Ukraine to join NATO? Given that if this conflict continues to escalate – or Ukraine actually manages to hurt Russia – the likelihood is that Europe dies in a thermo-nuclear holocaust, don't the British public deserve to factor the incontrovertible evidence of Americas sponsorship of the 2014 coup and continuous spending on the Ukrainian army since then into their assessment of the conflict? Victoria Nuland of the state department and Geoffrey Pyatt, the ambassador to Ukraine co-ordinated the 2014 'Maidan' with the oversight of (then) Vice-president Joe Biden to install a puppet regime. Between then and 2022 America spent 4 BILLION churning out a new battalion for the Ukrainian army every 55 days from a base in western Ukraine. Why does the BBC insist on being the government's PR department by misdirecting the public in the arrant nonsense that Vladimir Putin is on a war of conquest when the fact and existence of the Minsk accords – signed by Ukraine – document that all he has been seeking since 2008 is that Ukraine has the same status as Austria or Switzerland – neutral – so that America can't use it to locate nuclear missiles on Russia's border. That Minsk treaty was negotiated by Angela Merkel – the leading 21st century politician in Europe. How is it not relevant to public debate among thinking people in the UK that this woman – who commands universal respect as generally the only grown-up in the room was so appalled by the 2008 invite to Ukraine to join NATO that she (seconded by France) defied America by vetoing it. Her reason: such a development would for Russian security amount to a declaration of War. If Europe's de-facto leader was able to recognise that as a legitimate concern straight out the gate, all the way back in 2008, how can the BBC, in good journalistic conscience vilify Russia over its having responded in a wholly and previously predicted fashion to American machinations in Ukraine? The treatment of Ukraine as a de-facto NATO member has forced Russia to take military action to force further negotiations on what it could never see as anything other than an existential threat to its continued existence. This is in principle no different from America being recognised as having been within its rights as a state to view the location of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba back in 1962 as tantamount to an act of war by the Soviet Union.
The BBC has shamed itself by being, at best, mealy-mouthed and selective in what it reports on this conflict, and at worse, just as active in the disinformation war against Russia as the military-industrial-CONGRESSIONAL complex (that was Eisenhower's original phrase) that is happy to buys Russian deaths with Ukrainian lives and has a profit-interest in perpetuating the conflict for as long as possible.
