The head of the British Defense Ministry commented on the defeat of the Russian ship

British Defense Minister Grant Shapps said that Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea is now under threat.

The impact of the Russian amphibious assault ship “Novocherkassk” in the port of Feodosia refutes the statement about the alleged “dead end” in the war in Ukraine, – wrote Grant Shapps on the social network X.

He also noted that 20% of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was destroyed in the last 4 months.

“Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea is now under threat, and a new coalition of naval forces led by Great Britain and Norway is helping to ensure Ukraine’s victory at sea,” the defense minister concluded.

As previously reported by USM, on the night of December 26, Ukrainian pilots shot down a large landing ship “Novocherkassk” in Feodosia.
