Moscow Times: Russia Says Destroyed Ukraine’s ‘Last Warship’
Russia’s Defense Ministry said Wednesday it had “destroyed” what it claimed was Ukraine’s last warship.
The landing ship Yuri Olefirenko was struck by “high-precision” Russian Aerospace Forces weaponry in the Black Sea port of Odesa on Monday, the Defense Ministry said in a daily briefing.
It was not immediately possible to verify Moscow’s assertion and Kyiv has not yet commented on the claim.

The Yuri Olefirenko is a medium-sized landing ship for troops and vehicles.
