Russia said it had destroyed Ukraine’s “last warship” two days ago in a missile strike.

“The last warship of the Ukrainian navy, the Yuriy Olefirenko, was destroyed at a warship mooring in the port of Odesa,” said the Russian Defence Ministry Spokesman, Igor Konashenkov.

He said the vessel had been hit with “high-precision weapons” - a term he often uses to mean missiles - on May 29, but gave no further details.

Oleh Chalyk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian navy, declined to respond to Russia’s claims. The Ukrainian navy does not disclose details about losses in the war, he added.
