#1 ...If I understand this right, the Russians are announcing that a Ukranian ship struck a mine.

Hmm. Curious.

#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.
