Ukraine's Secretary of the Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said that the Kyiv army has already destroyed 20 per cent of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Mr. Danilov, in an interview with the Ukrainian service of Voice of America, said that he wished that the prospects of the country's territory liberation would improve but emphasized that simultaneously with on-ground battles, crucial events occurred on the Black Sea.

"Twenty percent of the fleet of the Russian Federation, including massive warships like the famous flagship of the Black Sea Fleet "Moscow," is missing. Last night's event confirms that our military understands the Crimea issue. Crimea is enormously significant for us, like the rest of our land."
