On Thursday Ukrainian military officials said that they managed to destroy a large Russian landing ship called Saratov in the occupied port city of Berdyansk.
Another ship, the Orsk, was also destroyed and several other ships were damaged, military officials said.
An earlier briefing from Ukraine’s military claimed that Russia remains focused on conquering southern Ukraine, in an effort to create a “land bridge” to the occupied territory of Crimea.
They are still trying to capture the cities fo Popasna, Rubizhne and Mariupol in the south, but have so far had “no success”.
In Sumy and Kharkiv, the Russians are attacking civilian infrastructure, the report said, adding that some Russian forces are withdrawing after suffering losses as high as 50%.
