Ukraine's sinking of the Russian missile boat "Ivanivets" will reduce the capabilities and command control of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

President Zelenskyy presented high state awards to the servicemen of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine who destroyed the Russian missile boat Ivanivets in a complex operation using naval drones.

Ukrainian border guards thanked the scouts for sinking the Russian corvette Ivanivets near the occupied Crimea.

The Russian missile boat Ivanovets was destroyed by Ukraine after six direct hits from Ukrainian Magura V5 surface drones operated by the GUR drone unit.

In December 2023 and January 2024, the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine implemented 18 more NATO standards, bringing the total number to 315. Another 50 standards are planned to be implemented in 2024.

Ukraine's Navy commander said that Ukraine would have won the war faster if it had been allowed to use Western weapons to hit targets in Russia. Ukraine has managed to destroy more than two dozen Russian ships, but the admiral warned that new methods are needed as the enemy is adapting.

Ukraine's Navy commander says they will gladly accept two British frigates that the UK plans to decommission in 2024 due to a shortage of sailors. The UK Defense Secretary has previously stated that 2024 will be a crucial year for Ukraine's fate and that the UK will continue to support Kyiv.
