In recent developments of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine has claimed to have used sea drones to sink a Russian corvette in the Black Sea. On the other hand, Russian investigators have alleged that a Russian military transport plane that crashed last month was brought down by two U.S.-made Patriot missiles fired by Ukrainian forces. These claims and counterclaims highlight the disinformation and uncertainty that surround the war between the two countries.
Ukraine's military intelligence agency, known as GUR, released a video on social media showing what it claims to be naval drones attacking the Russian missile-armed cutter Ivanovets on Lake Donuzlav in western Crimea. According to GUR, the ship, valued between $60 to $70 million, was targeted by a special unit and was seen sinking in the footage. However, due to the nature of disinformation and the lack of independent verification, it is difficult to ascertain the accuracy of these claims.
