Putin seals off Russia's Black Sea port after heavy losses in drone attacks. Experts see Ukraine as still in a tactically strong position, as the Ukrainian military has so far achieved good success in attacks on ships outside of ships.

Targets within the specially protected ports could also still be hit with missiles. Despite Russia's numerical superiority in the Ukraine war, Ukraine has already managed to decimate the Russian warship inventory by a good third since the start of the war. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently replaced the top commander of the Black Sea Fleet.
