Ukraine claims attacks on Russian submarine, air base | DW News

The Ukrainian military says it sank a Russian submarine during an attack on the port of Sevastopol in Russian occupied Crimea. Kyiv says it also damaged an advanced air-defense system.
Ukraine also says it attacked an airbase inside Russia, hitting ammunition stored there. Verified video shows huge explosions at the Morozovsk airbase, more than a hundred kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This comes as Russian troops have made sustained gains in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk.

They should rename that submarine from "Rostov-on-Don" to "Rostov-on-the-bottom"...

[charlestyser]

Giving Ukraine everything it needs to win this war and Ukrainian integration into the EU and NATO is the west’s best self defense.

[Brupie]

The analyst says Russia has "hundreds" of the S-400 systems. These seems like a gross exaggeration. I don't find a single source that suggests that Russia has more than 100.

[PhageTheFinalCure]

Fundamentally this guy needs to fundamentally stop using the word fundamentally at an almost fundamentally constant rate. Fundamentally speaking of course

[yephick]

It is VERY heartwarming to see Ukraine turning the tide. The only thing holding it back is the lack of support from the West!

Never heard of Submarine air Base, must be flying submarines

[sergeyb]

"fundamentally" russo resources aren't infinite. It's impossible to build more tanks, ships, airplanes, air defense systems than Ukraine destroys. Before 2022, russia has less than 100 s-400 systems to cover the biggest border in the world. Not "hundreds"

Freedom is not free, it will not come without a price.

This expert recently usually replies “ well f16/ strikes into Russia “ don’t make a difference … can u pls make it verbal that Ukraine simply needs more weapons ? Thanks 🙏🏻

لك الحق في الدفاع عن ارضك ،احسنت اوكرانيا 🇺🇦 *الله*و رسوله معكم اوكرانيا 🇺🇦

Listening to DW gives you the impressions that Russians are losing very bad at the battle fronts.

[krisa]

What gains? Some wheat fields here and there, and some random abandoned small villages? Is that really gains, or are they insignificant, very costly in russian lives, and relatively unimportant...I vote for the latter...

[digital_echelons]

No, the S-400 is nothing like Patriot, lol.

[A.S.D.M-]

Zelensky has aged 10 yrs since 2022.Damn! war is pure misery.

[poncho]

Praying for Ukraine, and for US leaders to maintain their resolve to supply and support Ukraine

[chesh]

Russia is still trying? It's just embarrassing from the start and now it's just pathetic.

[braxxian]

So?. Submarines don’t matter in this war. Who controls the land matters.

[zoom]

From flying shovels to flying submarines 😂😂😂

[GelanGobanaBecho]

more symbolic than major effect for ukraine

[olivergarcia]

Making Russia look like the incompetent goofs they are! 😂😂🤣🤣
