The Russian ship was hit as part of a special operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate.
Drones from the Main Intelligence Directorate shot down the Russian large landing ship Caesar Kunikov. This happened in the Black Sea on the morning of Wednesday, February 14.
As Ukrainskaya Pravda reports , citing informed interlocutors in the Main Intelligence Directorate, as a result of a successful attack, the Russian ship sank.
“Sources of the UP reported that this was a GUR operation, and as a result of an attack by the airborne landing complex, the Tsezar Kunikov sank,” the publication writes.
But there are no official comments yet. The Russians are also silent about the attack.
Explosions in Crimea on February 14 – latest news
As UNIAN reported, the morning of February 14 in Crimea began alarmingly. Local publics reported that machine gun fire could be heard in the area of the village of Simeiz, Yalta region.
Crimean Wind reported that explosions were heard in the sea at about 7 a.m., but there were no missile launches. According to one eyewitness, a Russian ship was attacked.
A fuzzy video subsequently emerged showing something burning in the sea. Residents of the village of Katsiveli felt a strong shock wave. The ammunition of the damaged ship probably explodes. Another ship approached to rescue the sinking ship, and a submarine is also visible nearby.

Sorry to interrupt HateTrump.com but there is some good news about Ukraine on Ukraine Today .org.
Sir Red I’m glad you’re continuing to be on site. I know this site has moved decidedly towards hating Trump but I for one will give Trump credit where credit is due and will condemn him where it’s appropriate. If he could just learn to control his rhetoric I think he would be perceived differently. It’s always been his problem. What I have learned about myself during all these debates is that I am indeed a Reagan Republican and given the apparent positions of MAGA, I think President Reagan would be crying from heaven to see where parts of his party have gone. IMHO
Thanks Sir Cap. As I’ve said before, I don’t trust Trump after running his mouth, but generally his Ukraine policies have been good for Ukraine. The TDS patients will never accept that because to them, Trump is guilty for everything regardless if its true or not, even when he’s not president.
Don’t forget, Trump also criticized the Biden admin for NOT SENDING ENOUGH WEAPONS TO UKRAINE TO STOP THE WAR. How do you say that and sleep with Vladolf?
Who knows what Trump will do, I doubt even Melania knows. My guess is he will tell Poopin to go home and tell Zelensky Poopin gets territory X. Then when they both tell Trump to fuck off he will end up siding with Zelensky because he told Poopin not to invade.
“even when he’s not president.”
Did the US Senate spend 4 months hammering out an agreement on border security, which was demanded by Republicans in order to secure aid to Ukraine?
Did not-the-president trumpkov tell the senators to kill the bill, because he wanted to keep the border as a problem in order to help his chances of being elected?
Did the Republican senators then kill the bill that would have provided military aid to Ukraine?
How can anyone who supports Ukraine be in favor of putler’s puppet?
You hard Leftists always love putting people in boxes. Groupthink is dangerous and steals any individualism you might have once had. Try critical thinking or thinking for yourself instead of doing what Rachel Maddow tells you to do.
I don’t need to defend my Ukrainian credentials to anyone, especially someone like you.
Who sold javelins to Ukraine?
Who sanctioned NS?
Who removed sanctions on NS2?
Who produced so much oil and gas that it alone almost broke putin?
Who closed consulates all over the country and sent putin’s spies home?
Who was the last president that DIDN’T have a russian invasion?
Now, practice critical thinking on those questions if you have any credibility. If not, I have no time for you.
“I don’t need to defend my Ukrainian credentials to anyone”
Nobody suggested that you did.
And while I note that you didn’t answer the questions, you of course were under no obligation to do so.
So, I’ll take a crack at them:
“Did the US Senate spend 4 months hammering out an agreement on border security, which was demanded by Republicans in order to secure aid to Ukraine?”
Yes, they did.
“Did not-the-president trumpkov tell the senators to kill the bill, because he wanted to keep the border as a problem in order to help his chances of being elected?”
Yes, he did.
“Did the Republican senators then kill the bill that would have provided military aid to Ukraine?”
Yes, they did.
“How can anyone who supports Ukraine be in favor of putler’s puppet?”
That’s a tough one – I can’t think of a reason for that.
It’s not HateTrump.com. It’s HatePutinoidScum.com.
Trump told putin over and over again NOT to invade Ukraine. That’s why he waited until Mr. Magoo became president. There is a pattern if you’re not totally blind. If you want to know who is Putinoid Scum, look at who was president when putin invaded. Simple enough for you hard Left partisans?
Obama/Biden in 2014
Biden/Harris in 2022.
There is the truth slammed down your throat. Yumm yumm…
“There is a pattern”
In November 2022, in the New York Times Magazine, Jim Rutenberg pulled together testimony given both to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and the Senate Intelligence Committee, transcripts from the impeachment hearings, and recent memoirs.
In 2016, Russian operatives had presented to Trump advisor and later campaign manager Paul Manafort a plan “for the creation of an autonomous republic in Ukraine’s east, giving Putin effective control of the country’s industrial heartland, where Kremlin-armed, -funded, and -directed ‘separatists’ were waging a two-year-old shadow war that had left nearly 10,000 dead.”
But they were concerned that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) might stand in their way.
In exchange for weakening NATO, undermining the U.S. stance in favor of Ukraine in its attempt to throw off the Russians who had invaded in 2014, and removing U.S. sanctions from Russian entities, Russian operatives were willing to put their finger on the scales to help Trump win the White House.
When he was in office, Trump did, in fact, try to weaken NATO—as well as other international organizations like the World Health Organization—and promised he would pull the U.S. out of NATO in a second term, effectively killing it. Rutenberg noted that Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine looks a lot like an attempt to achieve the plan it suggested in 2016. But because there was a different president in the U.S., that invasion did not yield the results Putin expected.
President Joe Biden stepped into office more knowledgeable on foreign affairs than any president since Dwight Eisenhower, who took office in 1953. Biden recognized that democracy was on the ropes around the globe as authoritarian leaders set out to dismantle the rules-based international order. He also knew that the greatest strength of the U.S. is its alliances. In the months after he took office, Biden focused on shoring up NATO, with the result that when Russia invaded Ukraine again in February 2022, a NATO coalition held together to support Ukraine.

Makes me wonder what the ship was doing out at sea at the Yalta region’s coast. Launching grad missiles?
Anyway, great work by Ukrainian drone operators, congratulations!
The ship was named after a Sovjet officer who died on 14 februar, years ago………..
That’s interesting, Veth. Just a coincidence or a deliberate choice of timing by the Ukrainian drone operators? 🙂
This is the kind of news we need to hear!
Some of those Subs need to be removed from circulation though.
One step a time or in 5his case one ship at a time. Not only are we destroying their fleet I can not imagine their sailors are comfortable being in the Black Sea wondering when it’s their turn. Keep putting the Fear of God into them.
Yeah, exactly, especially the sailors on the landing ships must be wetting their pants. Ukraine has already attacked the majority of their vessels! It’s like sitting in a barn with a huge bulls eye painted on it. Not a good feeling waiting for the “arrival”, that’s for sure!
