Ukraine has claimed sinking a Russian submarine in Crimea, marking another blow to Russia’s Black Sea fleet. While the sinking of the Rostov-on-Don hasn’t been independently confirmed, it would add to the significant losses Russia has already suffered in the Black Sea. This incident comes amidst a series of Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian airfields and oil depots deep within Russian and Russia-held Ukrainian territories.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has voiced Russia’s concerns over a potential permanent presence of NATO warships in the Black Sea, considering it a threat in light of the ongoing Ukraine conflict. This comes in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s new maritime security strategy aimed at countering Russian dominance in the region.
