the russian federation has lost 20% of its fleet. This was reported by the Secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov in an interview with the Voice of America, UNN reports.
I would like to remind you that we are at war, it is a very difficult situation. And if someone thinks that in a war you can calculate everything like in a business, keep in mind that there are many different factors that affect the processes. Of course, we would like to have a much better situation with the liberation of our territories
He noted that in parallel with the counteroffensive, very large and important events were taking place on the Black Sea.
"Regarding this situation, 20% of the Russian Federation's fleet is gone. And these are not some kind of shanties for 5-30 people. These are huge warships that we sent to the place where we sent the famous flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva, on April 13, 22. And what happened tonight is a vivid confirmation that our military has an understanding of the Crimean issue," Danilov said.
Danilov emphasized that Crimea is extremely important for Ukraine, as are the other territories.
"Some people have a strong desire for us to give up our territories, but I want to explain to everyone that we have a Constitution that clearly enshrines the territories of our country. They are recognized by the whole world. And I don't know any politicians who think that we cannot fulfill the Constitution of our country," Danilov said.
