Captain Oleksandr commands a Ukrainian patrol boat aiming to thwart Russian dominance in the Black Sea, especially following significant naval losses since 2014. After initially suffering setbacks, including the sinking of the legendary Moskva, Ukraine has regained strategic positions like Snake Island and utilized innovative sea drones to target Russian vessels. By relocating its Black Sea fleet, Russia has inadvertently allowed Ukrainian commercial shipping to resume. The control and future of the Black Sea are critical components in potential peace negotiations with Russia.
We're here to stop the Russians from taking the Black Sea, Oleksandr said, as his boat travelling at a nippy 30 knots rolled up and down.
Since then, though, Moscow has suffered a series of maritime setbacks, including the sinking of the Moskva and the reclamation of Snake Island.
