He called Ukraine’s recent successes in the Black Sea a “great achievement.” His statement came after the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine announced the destruction of another warship. Barron’s writes about this.
The Ukrainians were able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. And this is a great achievement, a great victory for Ukrainians,” Stoltenberg said.
As you know, the Project 775 IDC “Tsezar Kunikov” is one of the newest Russian vessels. It could accommodate 87 crew members on board and was used by Moscow during its wars against Georgia, Syria and Ukraine.
Let us remind you that on February 14, off the coast of the temporarily occupied Crimea, the large landing ship of the occupiers, Caesar Kunikov, was destroyed. An enemy ship was sunk in the territorial waters of Ukraine near Alupka. The Russian VDK was impressed by the Magura V5 maritime drones.
The Russian military confirmed the destruction of the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov. Radio communications of the occupiers from the site of the sinking, intercepted by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, indicate the sinking of this ship.
The Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that during the full-scale Russian invasion, the Defense Forces have already destroyed four Russian airborne landing ships – “Saratov”, “Novocherkassk”, “Minsk” and “Caesar Kunikov”. Four more vessels of this type are undergoing repairs. In total, before February 24, 2022, there were seven such ships in the Black Sea, then the Russians brought six more.
