☆ Russia's strike on a merchant ship in the Black Sea was likely down to poor targeting and aged ammo: UK intel
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The strike led to fears of a potential escalation in Russian attacks on the Black Sea grain corridor. But according to the UK MOD, it was likely an error caused by poor procedures and aging munition. Tonight, Russia launched a strike on an ordinary civilian vessel in the Black Sea right after it left Ukrainian territorial waters. Related storiesSince its exit from the Black Sea grain initiative, Russia's attacks on Ukrainian naval export abilities have been largely limited to striking ports, and — it's widely believed — dropping naval mines. Despite the potential for economic warfare, Russia has good reason to avoid escalating the threat to shipping in the Black Sea, Ambrey wrote.

"President Trump is the only one talking about stopping the killing."

Video The mayor of Lviv called this the worst attack on the city since the war started. Still, Russia has shifted its strategy with missile and drone attacks throughout the war, hitting one city one night and then targeting several on another. In the early days of the war, the 700,000 residents of Lviv prepared themselves for a full-scale onslaught that never materialized. A day before the attack on Lviv, Ukraine destroyed a military base in the Russian-occupied city of Makiivka. Consequences of the night attack by Russian terrorists.

The video Zelenskyy posted showed him greeting Sunak at a presidential palace as snowflakes fell and the two men holding talks. Sunak tweeted: “Britain knows what it means to fight for freedom. We are with you all the way @ZelenskyyUa.”The U.K. has been one of the staunchest Western supporters of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion, giving Kyiv 2.3 billion pounds ($2.7 billion) in military aid. Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who stepped down in July amid a welter of ethics scandals, won wide praise in Ukraine for his backing. Sunak is keen to reassure Ukraine’s leaders that there will be no change of stance under his leadership, though when he was U.K. Treasury chief under Johnson he was considered resistant to demands for higher defense spending.
