Zelenskiy vows to retaliate against Russian aggression in Black Sea

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has stated that Ukraine will retaliate against Russian attacks in the Black Sea to protect its trade routes and ensure the import and export of goods. This comes after Ukrainian maritime drones targeted a Russian warship and tanker. Zelenskiy called on Russia to cease its missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian ports and allow trade to resume. Tensions have been escalating in the Black Sea since Russia withdrew from a grain export deal, leading to repeated attacks on Ukrainian port facilities. Ukraine responded by launching sea-drone attacks on a Russian oil tanker and warship.
