Russian Strike on Chornomorsk Port Escalates Tensions

A Russian military strike damaged a civilian vessel at Ukraine's Chornomorsk port, highlighting Moscow's disregard for diplomatic solutions in the ongoing conflict, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

A civilian vessel at Ukraine's Chornomorsk port was damaged by a Russian strike, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced via Telegram on Friday.

The attack underscores Moscow's apparent indifference to diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the nearly four-year conflict in the region.

Zelenskiy's statement is likely to escalate already heightened tensions between the two nations.
