Its general staff described the vessel as “the third and last railway ferry that Russia had in that area” as it published a blurry image of a dark plume of smoke rising from a burning ship.
One person was killed and more wounded in the attack, according to Veniamin Kondratyev, Krasnodar’s regional governor.
He said that a fire erupted but had been brought under control. The extent of the damage to the ferry was not immediately clear.
“The occupiers used this ferry to transport railway wagons, motor vehicles and containers for military purposes,” Ukraine’s general staff said on the Telegram messaging app.
Putin just keeps making Russia weaker every day. He is spending large numbers of Russian lives to gain small, insignificant ground, but suffers continuous losses of irreplaceable logistics and infrastructure. He’s losing more than he’s winning and this will only continue.
He’s doing more to destroy Russia than the West could have dared to dream possible.
No where to go for invaders now. Maybe its time to cut off the bridge
