Russia Ukraine war, page-225237

while russia has taken possesion of some Ukrainian land .......Ukraine has control of the Sea ....one third of the russ Black Sea fleet is on the bottom of it and the rest have retreated to the sea of Azov ......how could you not have noticed ?

Any russian vessel in the Black Sea would have a limmited life span beofre it becomes yet one more submarine .

This is how putin had planned to project russian power in the region through the Sea .....that's why he stole Crimea , that bit of the Georgian coastline and was trying for Odesa too and to block Ukraine from the Black Sea coast ......so he could control the whole sea ...........instead he has completely LOST control of it .

A huge defeat for putin strategicaly that has ramifications beyond the war in Ukraine .
