There was a report on the results of our operation against Novorossiysk today. A combined use of long-range sanctions with our weapons. A successful operation. I am grateful to our warriors for their accuracy, and to the developers and manufacturers of our weapons for the tangible strengthening of Ukraine’s capabilities. For the first time in a single operation, Palianytsia, Peklo, Bars, and Long Neptune worked in concert, along with the Mich, Fire Point, Ramzay, Sichen, Trust, Khariok, Bober, Liutyi, and Dovbush drones, as well as the Sargan and Mamai unmanned surface vessels.

Among the results of the operation, it is important to note the strikes on Russian fleet vessels that were hiding in Novorossiysk bay. In particular, according to verified data, the Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov frigates, a large landing ship, a corvette, and other vessels were hit. Other Russian facilities that were helping finance the war were also struck. It is entirely fair that Ukraine responds to Russia’s war, and it is Russia that can and must end its war.

We will continue to encourage Russia to pursue peace through the further use of our long-range sanctions and mid-range sanctions. Today, together with the Minister of Defense, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and representatives of the Security Service of Ukraine, we identified priorities for the near term. Glory to Ukraine!
