Classic you can run, but you can’t hide. Love it.
Light it up again plz. Let’s help the sea heal by creating some new reefs. Some come with fish food inside!
These wrecks will be leaking fuel and other nasty stuff for a long time. It’ll probably hurt the environment more than help.
They are already leaking fuel and other nasty stuff. Russian ships are shit. At least by being blown up they catch fire and burn most of it off
I’m pretty sure that that’s not how that works.
Yeah I know, but I can dream can’t I?
I have a feeling Russia will be gaining a few more submarines in the near future. Slava Ukraine!
By the time this is all over every farmer in Ukraine will have a new tractor and Russia won’t have a navy that can go past sight of shore. Slava Ukraini
Future Black Sea artificial reefs
It might be the perspective but fuck they are shooting so low in the footage of blowing up the Ukrainian UAV that they seem to be hitting the residential buildings behind

Well that ‘protection’ failed you, didn’t it? lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Kirillovskaya substation caught fire, and more than 20 thousand city residents were left without electricity, the Russian Telegram news channel Astra reported.
Footage emerged on social media on May 19 that appeared to show two Ukrainian drones being blasted by machine gun fire as they flew over the port.
The governor officially announced an “unsuccessful attempt to attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces” and the downing of 10 UAVs.
The Novorossiysk port on Russia’s Black Sea coast in Krasnodar Krai is a strategic hub for oil exports and naval operations.
As Ukraine maintains pressure on Russia in Crimea and the Black Sea region, its troops have struggled to fend off Russian advances along the eastern front, particularly near Kharkiv.
Despite progress made by Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was not experiencing a shortage of artillery shells for the first time since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
