This is stated in a report by the UK Defense Ministry.

According to open sources, attacks on Russian ships were carried out in the northern region of the Black Sea and in the Sea of Azov.

“There has been an increase in the frequency and level of damage caused by attacks around the Crimean Peninsula over the last year, with nearly two thirds of strikes occurring within this period,” UK intelligence says.

  • In April, Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, also said that the Russian Black Sea Fleet had already lost about a third of its ships during the large-scale war.
