The landing group in combat formation was redeployed from one coast to another, performing maneuvers and avoiding enemy fire, while at the same time bypassing potentially dangerous areas, the report says.

Boats and their crews practised regrouping, complex manoeuvring techniques, and joint actions at sea.

In the finale, the marines landed on an unequipped coast in order to complete the assigned task, added the Navy statement.

The Russian army damaged the infrastructure in the port of Odessa

The Ukrainian Navy denied the information about the destruction of sea transport and noted that the Russian army damaged the infrastructure in the Odesa seaport.

Under the guise of trying to attack the ships of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Federation once again struck civilian objects, damaging the port infrastructure. Russia continues to do everything possible to block sea routes to the ports of Ukraine.

The Navy press service noted that information on civilian casualties as a result of the attack by the Russian army is currently being clarified.

Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian culture

The aggressor country is actively stealing Ukrainian cultural heritage.

This applies to both archaeological finds and museum collections.

According to the minister, Russia appropriated them for itself, ignoring all existing norms of international law.

And if in ancient times, when the Russians stole our name and our history, they took exhibits to the Hermitage or Moscow museums, now they are successfully trading them on the black market.

The head of the department also noted that, thanks to colleagues from different countries, these stolen artifacts are being returned.

As Tochytskyi noted, during trips abroad, he was often given these items.

The minister drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian authorities first imposed sanctions against cultural, museum and other figures of Russia in February.

"We are talking about 55 individuals and three legal entities, for whom we have clearly proven their involvement in the theft, destruction, and destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage," Tochytskyi emphasized.

According to Umerov, after Donald Trump returned to the White House, Washington told Kyiv that in addition to Europe, in addition to Ukraine, their attention would be focused on the Asia-Pacific region or the Pacific Ocean.

Despite this, the United States continues to provide security assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and has taken the lead in the peace initiative on which they are focused.
