The Russian Navy is no longer able to influence the course of hostilities in Ukraine — the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Russian Navy is no longer able to influence the course of hostilities in Ukraine — the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Russian fleet has lost the ability to influence the course of hostilities in Ukraine. Currently, the Black Sea Fleet is practically paralyzed in the Azov-Black Sea region.

Points of attention

  • The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation has lost its military-strategic importance in the region of the Black and Azov Seas.
  • The Ukrainian Navy claims that the Russian fleet cannot influence the hostilities in Ukraine.
  • The Ukrainian military uses attack drones, which allows them to inflict significant strikes on Russian vessels.
  • Decisive actions and high technical readiness of the Ukrainian military caused the surrender of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Crimea.
  • The Ukrainian military continues to maintain control over the situation in the maritime space, with the help of the latest technologies and tactics.

The Russian Navy can no longer influence the course of hostilities in Ukraine

This was stated by the spokesman of the Navy, captain of the third rank, Dmytro Pletenchuk.

He noted that whatever the level of readiness and number of units the Russians have, it cannot actually affect the course of hostilities in Ukraine.

Even though some units (the Russians — ed.) could transfer through internal waters, they will not do this, because they cannot help even those units that they have remaining in the Black Sea, in the Black Sea Fleet, which is effectively paralyzed in the Azov-Black Sea region, — said the spokesman of the Navy, captain of the third rank Dmytro Pletenchuk.

The captain of the third rank added that his intelligence colleagues could answer this question more professionally.

At the same time, Pletenchuk emphasized that the Russians cannot get to the Black Sea from the Mediterranean.

The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Crimea capitulated

The commander of the special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "Group 13" with the call sign "Thirteenth" spoke about the results of the work of the Ukrainian MAGURA V5 attack drone. According to him, we are talking about 18 affected vessels of the Russian Federation in a year and a half.

In fact, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Crimea capitulated. The Russian Federation has already removed everything most modern and necessary from Sevastopol. He paralyzed this fleet. Now he eats money from the budget of the Russian Federation, although he cannot perform his functions, — explained "Trynastiyy".

 

The commander of the special unit "Group 13" also draws attention to the fact that the Ukrainian-made MAGURA V5 attack marine drone is capable of covering a distance of more than 800 kilometers.

In addition, it is emphasized that its speed reaches 80 km/h, and the warhead weighs 250 kilograms.

According to the Thirteenth, he and his team did not pursue an increase in the warhead to destroy the ship with one hit.

We went the other way: we attacked in a swarm, inflicting five or more hits on large ships, which caused critical damage, — the special agent notes.

EU agrees to confiscate €200 billion of Russian assets

Russia may irretrievably lose another 200 billion euros
Source:  Financial Times

EU leaders are now determined to do everything possible to seize frozen Russian assets worth more than €200 billion, all as part of a plan to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The proposed confiscation of assets is being discussed as a potential consequence for Kremlin's non-compliance with the ceasefire agreement, aiming to create leverage for negotiation after the war.
  • With support from influential leaders within the EU and discussions on tying frozen assets to Russian compliance, the move could have far-reaching implications for international relations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Russia may irretrievably lose another 200 billion euros

As journalists learned from EU insiders, French leader Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have dramatically changed their positions.

What is important to understand is that for quite a long time they were the ones who opposed the complete confiscation of Russian assets located in Europe.

Official Brussels is currently discussing the idea of confiscating these assets if the Kremlin violates the upcoming ceasefire agreement in Ukraine.

According to anonymous sources, the efforts are being made within the framework of security guarantees for Kyiv.

Supporters of this idea see tying frozen assets to Russia's compliance with a possible agreement as a way to put pressure on Moscow and provide guarantees for Ukraine.

During talks with US President Donald Trump last week, French President Emmanuel Macron said that immediately seizing the assets would not be "respecting international law" but that the funds could be "part of the negotiations after the war ends."

British leader Keir Starmer and future German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are more resolute on this issue.
