Russia's Military Claims New Strikes on Ukraine's Sea Ports
Moscow's Defense Ministry says its forces struck naval vessels and port facilities it accuses Kyiv of using for military supply.
- Russia's Ministry of Defense posted the claim on its own Telegram channel, unverified by outside monitors.
- The ministry named sea vessels and port infrastructure as the day's targets, not troops or vehicles.
- Moscow justified the strikes by calling the infrastructure supportive of Ukraine's war effort, its standard rationale.
Why it matters: A ministry announcing its own strikes as fact is a party to the war, not a witness to it.
