"A powerful reminder": Britain praises destruction of Caesar Kunikov

British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps praised the destruction of the Russian Caesar Kunikov Project 775. The sinking of the large amphibious assault ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is a "powerful reminder" that Ukraine can win this war.

And to achieve this faster, the Armed Forces need the help of Western partners. He wrote about this on his account on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Today I will meet with allies at a global conference to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The sinking of another Putin warship will be a powerful reminder of how Ukraine can win this war with our funding," said Grant Shapps.

He emphasized that every nation should take a step to help protect the "front line of freedom."
