Since the beginning of the war, Ukraine has destroyed a fifth of the Russian fleet

When Russia's “Great Black Sea Fleet” appeared off the coast of Ukraine's Odessa in early March 2022, the world held its breath. With more than 70 warships – one of the largest in the world – the Russian fleet was “invincible.” Or at least that's what Kremlin propaganda said about it.

Since then, the image of Russia's largest naval power has changed. It is a “power” that has become a burden on the Russian army and a source of shame for the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin himself.
