Over the past four months, Russia has lost 20% of its Black Sea Fleet. This calls into question Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea. This was stated by British Defense Minister Grant Shepps.
This is how he reacted to the destruction of the Russian landing ship Novocherkassk, which was attacked by the Ukrainian military.
According to him, this proves that those who believe that the war in Ukraine has reached a dead end are mistaken.
Schepps is confident that the new coalition led by Great Britain and Norway will help Ukraine win at sea.
