Ukrainian military destroys 28 Russian ships since all-out war began

Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, announced this at a briefing on July 17.

He clarified, "This count includes the Rostov-na-Donu submarine, which was destroyed while in dry dock."

He stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have destroyed three Russian cruise missile carriers, a submarine, and two new Russian ships - the Askold and Cyclone.

“Among the destroyed ships are three cruise missile carriers, a submarine, and two new ships, specifically the newest ones - the Askold and Cyclone. These vessels represent various classes, ranging from a flagship missile cruiser to missile boats and units designed for deploying small numbers of troops and patrolling, such as the Raptor, Serna, and Tunets,” emphasized the Ukrainian Navy spokesman.
