Kyiv has vowed to reclaim Crimea, where Moscow partially bases its regional naval leet since annexing the peninsula in 2014.
Ukraine has brought Russia's naval forces in the Black Sea 'to heel,' a top U.K. admiral has said, as Kyiv plugs away with attacks on Moscow's facilities and ships around Crimea.'In the past year we've seen Ukraine—a country which barely has a navy—bring the Russian Black Sea Fleet to heel through a combination of drones and long-range missiles,' Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the U.K. chief of the defense staff, said on Tuesday.
