This is the dramatic moment a vessel went up in flames after a Russian projectile hit Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port.
Putin’s forces attacked two Ukrainian ports on Friday, damaging three Turkish-owned vessels including a ship carrying food supplies according to officials.
It comes days after Moscow threatened to cut ‘Ukraine off from the sea’ with Russian President Vladimir Putin vowing retaliation against Kyiv’s maritime drone attacks on his ‘shadow fleet’ tankers thought to be used to export oil, which Kyiv says is Russia’s main source of funding for its almost four-year-old war.
