Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa told Sky News that the course of the entire conflict would have been completely different if Ukrainian troops had been allowed to use Western munitions without restriction from the very beginning.

The UK, US and other allies only agreed last year to start providing Ukraine with longer-range missiles. Ukrainian troops have used them to hit targets in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, but not deep inside Russia for fear of escalation.

Our successes in 2022 and 2023 were the result of complex but innovative solutions that did not exist before

Ukraine is believed to have destroyed more than two dozen Russian vessels, forcing Moscow to recall several warships from Crimea to the Russian port of Novorossiysk.

These actions made it more difficult for Russia to enforce its naval blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, which was introduced to reduce Kyiv's ability to export grain.

The admiral noted that the naval war has two goals: to prevent the Russian fleet from attacking Ukraine and to ensure that ships have access to Ukrainian ports.

But as the full-scale invasion entered its third year, he warned that previous methods of attack may no longer work.

The enemy is adapting, and we must adapt. Modern warfare is a war of technology. Whoever wins in the technological sense will win
