Russia promises retaliation after Ukrainian drones hit a Russian tanker in 2nd sea attack in a day

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Moscow promised retaliation Saturday after Ukrainian drones hit a Russian tanker in the Black Sea near Crimea late Friday, the second sea attack involving drones in one day.

Ukraine struck a major Russian port earlier on Friday.

Moscow strongly condemned what it sees as a Ukrainian “terrorist attack” on a civilian vessel in the Kerch Strait, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

“There can be no justification for such barbaric actions, they will not go unanswered and their authors and perpetrators will inevitably be punished,” she wrote on the Telegram messaging app.

They’re going to invade Ukraine even harder now

I know, right? Like… What kind of retaliation are you going to do that you aren’t already doing?

Russia crying “no fair!” after every attack makes them all just a little bit more satisfying :)

Every time I see one of those articles, I wonder about Putin’s sex life. Dude must not be getting any to cause this much trouble for others while also being such a whiner.

Wait, I thought Russia was claiming that they'd successfully fended off the attack and nothing was damaged.

Why can’t it be both? These statements aren’t meant for us anyway.

I’m pretty sure Ukraine has a shit ton of drones and no incentive to stop using them.

What are they going to do, invade Ukraine? Sorry, Russia, you don’t get to pick a fight then get sympathy when you get hit back.

Usually blow up civilian targets with missile strikes. Maybe another hospital, a factory or an office building.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Moscow strongly condemned what it sees as a Ukrainian “terrorist attack” on a civilian vessel in the Kerch Strait, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Three weeks ago, Moscow withdrew from a key export agreement that allowed Ukraine to ship millions of tons of grain across the Black Sea for sale on world markets.

“The Sig tanker … suffered a hole in the engine room near the waterline on the starboard side, presumably as a result of a sea drone attack,” Russia’s Federal Agency for Marine and River Transport wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no casualties among the 11 crew members.

Vladimir Rogov, a Kremlin-installed official in Ukraine’s partially occupied southern Zaporizhzhia region, said several members of the ship’s crew were wounded because of broken glass.

Tugboats were deployed to assist the tanker, which is under United States sanctions for helping provide jet fuel to Russian forces fighting in Syria, according to Russia’s Tass news agency.

Commenting on the talks in Saudi Arabia, Zakharova told Russian state media that the idea of making decisions on the conflict without the participation of Moscow was “absurd.” Nevertheless, she said, delegates have “full scope for creativity” to discuss the issue.
