Ukraine war: Russia ‘destroys Ukraine’s last warship’
Russia said it had destroyed Ukraine’s “last warship” two days ago in a missile strike.
“The last warship of the Ukrainian navy, the Yuriy Olefirenko, was destroyed at a warship mooring in the port of Odesa,” said the Russian Defence Ministry Spokesman, Igor Konashenkov.
He said the vessel had been hit with “high-precision weapons” – a term he often uses to mean missiles – on May 29, but gave no further details.
Oleh Chalyk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian navy, declined to respond to Russia’s claims. The Ukrainian navy does not disclose details about losses in the war, he added.
