Last night, medium-range strikes were used – targets were reached in the Black and Azov Sea areas. Also hit was the sanctioned Russian container ship “Janina,” which sailed under the Russian flag and had a capacity of more than 100 thousand tons. Thanks to the accuracy of our defense forces, it sank,” said V. Zelensky on his “Telegram” account.
According to the Ukrainian president, on the same night, SBU security service units struck the infrastructure of three Russian oil refineries in Bashkiria.
“The distance to the objects is almost 1600 kilometers. These are factories processing millions of tons of oil annually. Thank you for the accuracy! We continue our rightful pressure. The long-range sanctions plan is being implemented step by step,” said V. Zelensky.
Ukrainian drones sank a Russian container ship
15min reminds that early Saturday morning in the Black Sea, Ukrainian drones sank a Russian container ship, and its 17-member crew was forced to abandon the ship, reported the ship’s owner “Rosatom.”
“As the ship began to sink, its crew left it in an organized and coordinated manner. All 17 crew members were rescued, and their condition is good,” the company stated on the “Telegram” platform.
The Russian state nuclear energy corporation “Rosatom” reported that at least two Ukrainian drones struck the cargo ship “Janina” while it was sailing near the Russian port of Novorossiysk.
The ship, operated by Rosatom’s shipping subsidiary FESCO, was carrying civilian goods, including frozen food and construction materials, Rosatom said.
So far, there is no indication that the ship was engaged in activities related to Rosatom’s nuclear operations or carrying nuclear materials.
“Such an attack can only be regarded as piracy and robbery at sea,” said Rosatom CEO Aleksey Likhachyov in a statement.
Ukraine, which has targeted Russian-flagged ships in the Black Sea during the nearly four-and-a-half-year war, has not yet commented on the situation.
Kiev accuses Russia of using this waterway to transport sanctioned goods, including oil.
Since the start of the war, Russia has carried out numerous strikes on Ukrainian port infrastructure and ships approaching Ukrainian ports – Kiev calls these attacks war crimes.
