Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy published an updated assessment of Russian Black Sea Fleet losses, reporting that of 33 warships, 4 have been destroyed and 8 damaged; of 34 landing ships, 15 destroyed and 10 damaged; and among 23 auxiliary and support vessels, 3 destroyed and 9 damaged. The figures appear to reflect cumulative damage since the start of the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released a detailed visual breakdown of damage to Russia's Black Sea Fleet, providing a rare public tally of cumulative losses. According to the data, which he presented as an infographic, the fleet has lost a significant portion of its combat capability — particularly among landing ships, where more than 70% of the vessels are reported either destroyed or damaged. The auxiliary and support fleet also shows substantial attrition. Zelenskyy did not specify a timeframe for the damage, but the figures are consistent with cumulative Ukrainian strikes since 2022, including the use of naval drones and long-range missiles. The claims are based on a single source — Zelenskyy's own presentation — and have not been independently verified. No response from the Russian Defense Ministry has been reported thus far.
