Ukraine blitzes 19 Russian tankers overnight, with 136 vessels hit in ten days in huge blow to Putin
Ukraine attacked another 19 Russian tankers last night, as the nation steps up its war against Putin's shadow fleet.
For the past ten days, Vladimir Putin's fuel carriers have been obliterated in the Azov Sea.
The change of tack caught Russian forces by surprise, using sea drones to strike 17 oil tankers and two gas tankers among the toll of 19.
The latest strikes came as the country marked Ukrainian Statehood Day, honouring the country's more than 1,000-year state tradition, countering Putin's claims that Ukraine is part of Russia.
