MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian naval aviation aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed three boats with a landing force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Zmeiny (Snake) Island, which were heading toward Crimea, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
“This night, in the western part of the Black Sea water area, northeast of Zmeiny (Snake) Island, naval aviation aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed three US-made Willard Sea Force high-speed military boats with landing groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, traveling in the direction of the Crimean coast,” the ministry said.
Ukraine has suffered very significant losses in the conflict with Russia, especially during its so-called counteroffensive in the past three months.
The counteroffensive has resulted in tens of thousands of soldiers killed and wounded, as well as hundreds of units of military equipment destroyed, according to reports.
