TL;DR Summary

Russia claims to have destroyed Ukraine's "last warship," the Yuriy Olefirenko, with "high-precision weapons" in the port of Odesa. Ukraine has not yet confirmed the incident, but heavy Russian airstrikes damaged the port infrastructure on Monday. The Yuriy Olefirenko, a Soviet-era landing ship, may have previously played an "important role" in Ukrainian operations, particularly last year during the liberation of Kherson. The possible destruction of the ship has "almost no impact on the offensive potential of Ukraine's Navy," according to an analyst.
