The UK Ministry of Defence has stated that the Ukrainian sea drone attack on the Russian Navy landing ship Olenegorsky Gornyak in the port of Novorossiysk is a significant blow to Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet. The ship most likely suffered serious damage during the attack, making it the largest Russian naval vessel severely damaged or destroyed since the sinking of the cruiser Moskva in April 2022. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed hope that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will visit Turkey this month to discuss a deal allowing Ukraine to export grain through the Black Sea. Meanwhile, Lithuania will close two of its border crossings with Belarus due to concerns over the presence of Wagner mercenaries. The decision is being made to be prepared to completely shut down the border if necessary, in order to lower smuggling risks and complicate passenger traffic between the two countries. In the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Ukrainian forces are engaged in an extremely fierce battle to retake the city of Bakhmut, with Russian forces launching air and artillery strikes on surrounding areas. Talks to find a peaceful settlement to end the war will be difficult, but Ukraine is hoping to gain more international support for its peace formula. And finally, a Russian tanker was reportedly hit by Ukrainian drones in the Kerch Strait, resulting in a hole in the engine room but no casualties.
