Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny announced that, that Russia "used naval drones against Ukrainian infrastructure facilities". Zaluchny announced that, that he reported the “incident in the Odessa region to the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, General Mark Milley.
Zaluzhny, complaining to an American general:
Shared with Mark Milley concerns about Russia's use of maritime surface drones. This use threatens civil navigation in the Black Sea. Thus, Zaluzhny confirmed the fact of a strike in Odessa Zatoka on a bridge across the Dniester Estuary. Initially, the Ukrainian side did not comment on the blowing up of the bridge in the Zatoka area from the sea., and is now guided by the paradigm “and us- for what"…
Zaluzhny:
I shared my concerns about Russia's use of naval drones. Recall, what, as previously reported by "Military Review", an unknown drone blew up a railway bridge in the Odessa region, damaging him.
Moreover, initially the Ukrainian side did not comment on the damage to the bridge.. However, the gravity of the situation forced the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to complain to the Pentagon and additionally (just in case) declare, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine “keep Bakhmut under their control”.
