Kyiv isn’t just defending the lines, they’re gutting Russia’s export infrastructure in the dark of night.
Hitting the shadow fleet is a masterstroke, it hurts Putin’s wallet more than any front-line skirmish.
The Karakurt-class was supposed to be a Kalibr threat, now it’s just a 800-ton paperweight in Primorsk.
Ukraine Hits Russian Karakurt-Class Missile Ship in Primorsk Port
“Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck a Russian missile ship capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles during a drone attack on the port of Primorsk overnight on May 3, targeting multiple military and energy-related assets.
According to a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy published on May 3, the operation resulted in damage to a Russian Karakurt-class missile ship, as well as a patrol boat and a tanker linked to Russia’s so-called shadow oil fleet.
Zelenskyy said he had been briefed by acting head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Major General Yevhenii Khmara, on the outcome of the strike.
“Each such result limits Russia’s war potential. I approved the SBU’s additional, entirely justified responses to Russian strikes on our cities and villages. Russia can end this war at any moment. Prolonging the war will only lead to the expansion of our defensive operations,” Zelenskyy stated.”
