The Ukrainian Navy's "last warship" was destroyed, a Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said. The Yuriy Olefirenko was hit with "high-precision weapons" in the port of Odesa, Russia claimed. Russia said the Yuriy Olefirenko was hit on Monday with missiles, which Konashenkov called "high-precision weapons," per Reuters. Russia has rarely targeted the port after signing the UN-backed Black Sea Grain Initiative last year. Whichever side holds the piece of land can control ship traffic between the ports of Kherson and Mykolaiv and the Black Sea, per Forbes.

Ukraine's navy declined to comment. "The last warship of the Ukrainian navy, the Yuriy Olefirenko, was destroyed at a warship mooring in the port of Odesa," Defence Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a daily briefing on the war. Oleh Chalyk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian navy, said he would not respond to any assertions made by Russia. The Ukrainian navy will not disclose any information about losses during the war, he added.
