2. Wow, if I were Russian top brass I would be fucking embarrassed

3. Yes, but why is Turkey allowing Russian vessels through the Bosphorus straight? Especially when they are carrying weapons for use against Ukraine.

4. Now get the other 80%

5. Well done Ukraine!

   @US Defense Secretary, you should give Ukraine what they need to sink the remaining 80%.
   Those first 20% were destroyed with European and Ukrainian weapons, cause the US is still holding back on the requested missiles.

6. 80% to go

7. Russia is emasculated. One week five multimillion dollar jets downed, dozens and dozens of drones shot down and this ship kapoot. Putin is a sociopath

8. Russian warship go fuck yourself 🖕

9. Do I hear 50….%!

10. So the rest will be sunk by 2025? Nice!
