Ukrainian officials said on Monday that Russia had put five aircraft out of action in an attack on a military target in western Ukraine and caused a fire at the Black Sea port of Odesa in airstrikes

Russia's defense ministry said on Wednesday that its forces had destroyed what it described as Ukraine's "last warship" two days ago in the port of Odesa in a missile strike.

Ukraine's navy declined to comment.

"The last warship of the Ukrainian navy, the Yuriy Olefirenko, was destroyed at a warship mooring in the port of Odesa," Defence Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a daily briefing on the war.

He said the vessel had been hit with "high-precision weapons" - a phrase he uses to mean missiles - on May 29, but gave no further details.

Oleh Chalyk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian navy, said he would not respond to any assertions made by Russia. The Ukrainian navy will not disclose any information about losses during the war, he added.

Ukrainian officials said on Monday that Russia had put five aircraft out of action in an attack on a military target in western Ukraine and caused a fire at the Black Sea port of Odesa in heavy airstrikes early on Monday.

Reuters was unable to independently verify the battlefield accounts of either side.

The Russian defense ministry also said on Wednesday that its forces had pushed Ukrainian units out of positions around the settlements of Krasnohorivka and Yasynuvata in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, which Moscow claims to have annexed.

The ministry said "fierce fighting" was continuing around Avdiivka, a large town located between the two settlements, which has been largely razed to the ground during months of fighting.

This is what Zelensky is thinking now.

We are not bothered because America will send warships to us. We will "sink" 120 Russian hypersonic missiles with the ships

Is there still a country know as Ukraine? This is what people get when they elect people of no capacity as a leader to lead them. Russian armed forces should try and do the needful as to eliminate that idiot of a president. He is just wasting the time and dreams of the young men and women of Ukraine.

Russia isn't really interested in ending Ukraine, or it's President. Afterall, Putin gave hiw word long ago that he has no interest in killing Ukrain president. That stand might change later since Ukraine seems to be overDoing things.
Could you believe it's just few days ago, that Ukrain President's house in Russia was seaized. Something countries like the USA would have done long ago. And I presume Volodymyr Zelenskyy's house was only seized because of the alledged drone attack.

Ukraine has no NAVY.
