The Russian Black Sea Fleet has scattered to escape repeated Ukrainian strikes and consequently is now too far away from the war to be able to engage in it, a functional defeat, the British Armed Forces Minister said on Tuesday.
While Ukraine had considerable successes in the land war in 2022 these were not forthcoming in 2023, but that doesn’t mean they are without progress in pushing Russia back, the British Armed Forces Minister told a conference. James Heappey pointed to Ukraine’s strikes against the Russian navy as a clear measure of their progress at the Warsaw Security Forum on Tuesday, arguing the force is no longer able to function to support the war and therefore has been functionally defeated.
Heappey expressed his view, telling the conference: “the progress in Ukraine over the past few months has been slow, nobody can pretend otherwise, but anyone who thinks there was no progress at all is simply wrong… the importance of what has happened in the Black Sea over the last couple of weeks where a Russian submarine and a Russian ship have been put out of action and the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet has been put out of action too.”

“Says Britain…”
Bill Clinton was a functional republican. Got him reelected.
(((YAWN))) Yeah. Okay.
Anything out of the UK regarding Ukraine is bullpoop.
It’s a freakin’ LAND WAR!
They do have a point. With modern warfare, no ship in the world is safe.
This would not be good for England if Ww3 breaks out. Gee, who is in an island?
Oh no, the Black Sea Fleet wont be pounding the frontlines….

Is that even a country anymore? I thought they renamed to Britistan a year ago?
Sure, if the Author says so.
I wish you wouldn’t of said that. My 38s are too tight. Wake up call, now I need to do more heh.
At least we discussed something real, and not what this article is claiming .
Huzzah!
What goes down your pie hole is most important.
Exercise is a distant second.
Sleep plenty and keep stress low.
The Russian Black Sea fleet was for a time a potent force against Ukraine. Not anymore, and with the loss of major vessels and docking and repair facilities, Russia is unable to rebuild its naval strength.
How bad are things if today’s propaganda is this tidbit for a land war?
The browns from the southern hemisphere have functionally defeated Britain says Levy78.
Yep
red meat and fruit! Just butchered up another elk the other weekend and get beef from my rancher friend a few miles up from me. I don’t buy meat anymore from the store, can’t trust it anymore. Fruit comes from the Hutterites.
Anything out of the UK regarding Ukraine is bullpoop.
Brits on the whole are pretty russophobic.
