Ukrainian News
In a dramatic turn of events, the Black Sea, once considered a safe passage through the Grain Agreement, has now become a violent battleground. Russia claims to have destroyed Ukrainian landing craft in the Black Sea, adding to the escalating tensions between the two nations. Furthermore, mainland Russia faced a drone attack, resulting in the destruction of four transport planes. Our correspondent, Kim Gwi-soo, brings us this report from Berlin.
Russian Navy Destroys Ukrainian Landing Craft
The Russian Ministry of Defense made a chilling announcement on the 30th of this month, revealing that Ukraine’s four fast landing ships were obliterated in the Black Sea waters. These landing craft reportedly carried up to 50 Ukrainian soldiers, all of whom tragically lost their lives in the attack. Moreover, Russia claims to have successfully repelled a drone attack by Ukrainian forces near the Crimean port of Sevastopol, a significant base for the Black Sea Fleet.
The suspension of the Black Sea Grain Agreement, as announced by Russia in June, has triggered a wave of both large and small-scale battles in the region. Prior to this incident, Ukrainian forces even rammed a warship near the Russian port of Novorossiysk. Reacting swiftly, Russian forces launched a massive air strike on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. The missiles caused extensive damage to the city, resulting in the loss of two innocent lives and widespread destruction of residential properties.
Amidst this chaos, a local resident of Kyiv, Iryna Oblat, voiced the weariness felt by all due to the ongoing war and reaffirmed their determination not to surrender to any adversity.
Mainland Russia Targeted: Large-Scale Drone Attack
In an unexpected development, mainland Russia faced a major drone attack in the early hours of the 30th. Located at the airport in Pskov, northwestern Russia, four of the nation’s key military transport planes were left completely destroyed. Governor Mikhail Vedernikov of Pskov expressed relief that no casualties were reported and appreciated divine intervention. Efforts are now underway to assess the extent of the damage and restore normalcy at the site.
The airstrikes carried out in six regions, including Moscow and Crimea, have thus far elicited no response from Ukraine.
Furthermore, the Turkish Foreign Ministry has indicated its intention to hold discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov over the next two days regarding the Black Sea Grain Agreement’s future. This development will be closely watched by the international community.
