There was no Russian landing in Odessa and there will be no more, the Moskva sank, Zmiiniy Island is under Ukrainian control, 28 Russian ships and one submarine were destroyed and damaged, and the "grain corridor" is functioning and supporting the world's food security.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky recalled that Russia was doing everything possible to cut off Ukraine from the sea and undermine the economy.
However, thanks to the efforts of the Navy and other structures of the Defense Forces, we managed to push the enemy away from our shores.
The phenomenon of this war is that Ukraine, having a limited surface fleet, turned the once formidable Black Sea Fleet of Russia into a flotilla hiding in the bays of Novorossiysk. The enemy fleet was actually removed from Crimea. And a significant part of this victory is the merit of the Naval Forces of Ukraine.

The Main Intelligence Directorate emphasizes that the Navy soldiers not only mastered the destructive element, but also proved that it is better to fall under a tsunami than to experience the righteous wrath of the Ukrainian fleet.
Eternal glory to the sailors and marines who died for the freedom of Ukraine. Honor to everyone who continues the fight! Glory to the Ukrainian Navy! Glory to Ukraine! — emphasizes the GUR.
