Ukraine Has Now Sunk or Disabled One-Third of Russia's Black Sea Fleet

Pretty good performance for a country without a navy of its own. JL 

Alona Mazurenako reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Ukrainian forces have disabled approximately 33% of all combat ships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet since the start of the invasion - 24 Russian ships and one submarine. Publicly available information indicates the Russian Black Sea Fleet had a total of 74 combat ships at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Due to Ukrainian attacks on the Russian Navy, the Russians are trying to establish a naval base in Ochamchire, a town in the Russian-occupied Georgian region of Abkhazia, 381 miles east of Crimea.
