Ukrainian Drone Attacks Disrupt Russian Shipping at Graveyard for Ships

The war between Russia and Ukraine has entered a new phase of maritime escalation, as Kyiv carried out a wide-scale campaign using drones targeting over 100 Russian ships in the Sea of Azov, including fuel tankers and logistical support vessels. This has led to a significant slowdown in navigation and damage to the affected ships. The aim of these attacks is to cut off Crimea's fuel supplies and force Moscow to rely on land transportation routes, with operations shifting to the Black Sea to disrupt Russia’s grain and fuel exports. The Russian Foreign Minister described the attacks as "terrorism," while Moscow faces difficulties in ensuring the movement of civilian ships. Experts explained that the use of long-range drones combined with strikes on Russian defenses has weakened the ability to intercept them, reflecting a change in the nature of naval warfare and threatening the continuation of Russian exports via the Black Sea.
