| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] At the mouth of the Danube, a Ukrainian small geographic vessel "Shlyakhovich" was blown up on a sea mine, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Center for Defense Control of Russia, said at a briefing on July 29. He clarified that the small geographical vessel "Shlyakhovich" of the State Hydrographic Service of Ukraine was blown up by a drifting mine torn from anchor. "So, on July 28, 2022, when measuring the depths of the fairway at the mouth of the Danube River, a small geographic vessel Shlyakhovich was blown up on a Ukrainian drifting mine," Mizintsev said. He also recalled that the sea minefields created by Ukrainian militants still do not allow dozens of foreign ships to leave Ukrainian ports. |

| #2 This doesn't seem like something the Ukrainians would brag about AND there have been reports of drifting mines, from Turkey if memory serves. De-mining Odessa is a sticking point in getting grain shipping restarted. Shippers want the mines cleared to reduce their risk. Ukraine wants to keep the mines to deter a Russian assault on Odessa. |
