Last week, Vladimir Putin threatened retaliation after Ukraine carried out naval drone attacks on oil tankers from Russia's phantom fleet. The Russian airstrikes occurred after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan requested a limited ceasefire for energy facilities and ports. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky published images of a fire on a ship in the port of Chernomorsk, emphasizing that Russia does not take diplomatic opportunities seriously and continues to destroy normal life in Ukraine. The Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed damage to Turkish vessels, but no casualties were reported. Ukraine struck at least three Russian oil tankers, used to circumvent sanctions, and intensified attacks on targets in the Caspian Sea, including ships with military equipment.
