– It is reported that Putin is completely furious over the destruction of the large military vessel Novocherkassk.
This is what the pro-Ukrainian guerrilla group in Crimea, Atash, writes on Telegram, according to it British newspaper Telegraph.
Supposed to have blown up a Russian warship
The group claims that Putin has ordered revenge patrols into occupied Crimea to hunt down dissidents who may have given Ukraine information about the whereabouts of the now-destroyed warship.
The actions come after there were large attacks against the port city of Feodosia on the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula on the night of Tuesday. The biggest loss for Russia was the aforementioned ship Novocherkassk.

Great Britain rejoices
On Thursday, the British Defense Intelligence Service writes that the ship is so damaged after the attack that it will not be able to sail again.
The bombing thus joins the series of several Ukrainian attacks against the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and the British Defense Minister Grant Shapps rejoices.
– During the last four months, 20 percent of Russia’s Black Sea fleet has been destroyed. This latest destruction of Putin’s navy shows that those who believe there is a stalemate in Ukraine are wrong!, he writes on X.

– Important meaning
Claus Mathiesen, who is a lecturer at the Danish Defense Academy, tells Danish TV 2 that the sinking of the ship has both a symbolic meaning, but that it also has an important military meaning.
– This has forced the Black Sea Fleet to increasingly use port facilities on the Russian mainland coast to stay at a safe distance from Ukrainian attacks, he says.
According to Mathisen, one of the consequences of this is that the Russians cannot load Kalibr missiles, which have been a constant threat to cities and infrastructure in Ukraine throughout the war.
