Zelenskyy Declares Russia Has Lost the Black Sea
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared that Russia “has lost the Black Sea,” attributing this shift to the Ukrainian Naval Forces and other defense units. During events marking Ukraine’s Navy Day, Zelenskyy highlighted the successful liberation of Snake Island and ongoing operations against Russian fleet and forces in Crimea, asserting that the Black Sea will not be a place of peace for Russia. A revealed chart during a meeting with the Naval Forces indicated significant damage to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, with thousands of vessels reported destroyed or damaged. To further bolster its naval capabilities, Ukraine also announced the establishment of a new Naval Academy in Odesa to expand officer training.
