President Volodymyr Zelenskyy states that Ukraine has pushed back Russia in the Black Sea, as reported by the German news platform n-tv.de.
According to his message on Telegram, Ukraine has succeeded in taking away Russia’s initiative in this region. Zelenskyy emphasizes that the Russian fleet had to retreat to the eastern part of the Black Sea. He highlights that for the first time worldwide, a fleet of marine drones is operating in the Black Sea, specifically a Ukrainian fleet. Additionally, Zelenskyy notes that as a result of these actions, Russia is no longer able to use the Black Sea as a launch point for destabilizing other world regions.
These claims have not yet been independently verified or confirmed. Therefore, they should be considered with caution. In war, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately spread misinformation to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the enemy.
