Successes of Ukraine in the Black Sea
In November of last year, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia was gradually losing control of the Black Sea and retreating to the eastern part of the waters.
This was amid a series of successful strikes by Ukrainian defenders, which destroyed Russian Black Sea Fleet ships and the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol.
Sea Baby surface drones of the Security Service of Ukraine were used for the attacks. Zelenskyy noted that the creation of the world's first fleet of maritime drones has led to a situation where Russia cannot use the Black Sea as a launching pad.
