Russia said that it has destroyed Ukraine's last remaining warship. The warship Yury Olefirenko was reportedly destroyed by the Russian Aerospace Forces. It was Ukrainian Navy's last standing warship on the Port of Odessa, the largest Ukrainian seaport and one of the largest ports in the Black Sea basin.
"On May 29, a high-precision strike by the Russian Air Force on a ship anchorage site in the port of Odesa destroyed the last warship of the Ukrainian Navy, the 'Yuri Olefirenko'," the Russian army said in its daily briefing.
Kyiv has not reacted to the Russian assertion related to the incapacitation of the Soviet-era naval ship first commissioned in the 1970s.
The ship was named in the memory of Ukrainian marine who perished in the War in Donbass, which began in 2014 in Eastern Ukraine when separatists allegedly backed by Moscow seized government buildings in the region.
Since 2014 to February 2022, Yuri Olefirenko was widely described as Ukraine's defendant in the Black Sea.
