Ukraine has successfully attacked Russian air defenses and resupply boats stationed in the Western Black Sea with the help of Bayraktar drones, the ministry said.
Russia’s current efforts to augment its forces on Zmiinyi Island offer Ukraine more opportunities to engage Russian troops and attrit materiel, the Ministry of Defense reported.
“If Russia consolidates its position on Zmiinyi Island with strategic air defense and coastal defense cruise missiles, they could dominate the north-western Black Sea,” the ministry said in a tweet on Wednesday.
In addition, the Russian Navy retreated to Crimea, giving Russia's resupply ships minimal cover in the western Black Sea after the loss of the Moskva.
