The Ukrainian Navy has confirmed the defeat of two Russian large landing ships Yamal and Azov in occupied Crimea, and the possible defeat of the third unit is being checked, said Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, during a telethon on Monday, UNN reports.
The condition is being clarified. We can now confirm this damage. We are currently verifying information about the possible damage to another unit, the third one. One way or another, one of these water cannonballs is already under repair at the plant. Given the damage, we can say that out of the 13 units that the Russians have prepared to seize our southern coast, only three remain in service. As for the ships of this project from the Black Sea Fleet, there is not a single one left
In addition, according to him, "the building of the Sevastopol naval base was hit, and the fuel and lubrication depots were hit by fire.
He confirmed that the third ship, whose damage is currently being clarified, is the Ivan Khurs.
"Yes. That's right," Pletenchuk said, adding that he should only provide verified information, as he cannot misinform the public.
Recall
On March 24, the Ukrainian Armed Forces StratCom reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces successfully hit large Russian landing ships Yamal and Azov, a communications center, and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
