On the night of March 13-14, the masters of the Department of Active Operations of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine successfully struck two military vessels of the aggressor state of Russia.

As a result of the operation, the enemy railway ferry “Slavyanin” was disabled and the ship “Avangard” was damaged, which the enemy used to wage a criminal war against Ukraine.

The specified vessels were the main elements of the so-called Kerch ferry and played one of the key roles in the aggressor's naval military logistics — this includes, in particular, the transportation of weapons, military equipment, and ammunition.

As part of the operation, military intelligence special forces, together with other components of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, also inflicted fire damage on the infrastructure of the port "Kavkaz" in the Krasnodar Territory, which Russia exploits to wage war against our state.
