Nice! This is a Rubin class patrol boat, a modern ~800 ton patrol boat which Russian produced quite recently. That about $25 million worth of boat there, and is essentially irreplaceable.
Well it stands to reason, Ukraine can’t really attack the Mediterranean Fleet or the Black Sea Fleet much anymore. And up in the Northern Fleet *Kuznetsov* is already sinking, nothing more to do there.
Frankly, if I were in charge of the Russian Pacific Fleet now is when I’d start thinking about retiring early.
I don’t know if someone’s posted it yet, but it’s worth putting both facts together: Ukraine also just hit a shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean.

So Ukraine started targetting them anywhere in international water, which is an interesting development!
This has been coming, this has been coming for a long time. No wonder Putin tries to whine himself into a beneficial peace agreement.
The Caspian Sea is being liberated from the Russian sphere of interest.
