between Moscow and kyiv, a naval battle is being played out in the Black Sea

The scene is worthy of an action movie. Images were provided by the Russian Defense Ministry. According to Moscow, a naval drone attacks a ship of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. The Russian army ends up neutralizing it. “The attack failed, all the enemy ships were neutralized”, said Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The Russian fleet under pressure

As if to contradict this version, another video emerged on the Ukrainian side. A speedboat evades fire and manages to approach a warship. The image freezes before a possible impact. According to the Russians, the attack took place on May 24 off the coast of Turkey. Neither of the two videos could be formally authenticated. But for months the Russian fleet has been under pressure, harassed by Ukrainian naval drone attacks.
