Andryushchenko wrote: "Yesterday (June 8. - ed.) around 4:00 p.m. from the area of the coast between Berdyansk and Primorsk, "Our Eyes Everywhere" recorded several non-civilian-looking vessels on a raid (point one on the map below). At night around midnight, our UAV attacked a vessel near Yeisk port (point two on the map) and it previously went to escort the cruiser "Moscow". In the morning, all information about the attack was deleted from all the occupiers' public.

According to Andryushchenko, the occupiers decided to hide military landing ships in Yeisk, in the Sea of Azov.

"We are talking about the large amphibious ships that left Novorossiysk three days ago and entered Azov through the Kerch Strait... The very fact of the real pursuit of the Russian fleet in the Sea of Azov is simply mega positive news that is difficult to overestimate," he added.

We will remind, on June 8, the Defense Forces for the first time damaged the most modern Russian Su-57 fighter, of which the Russian army had only 6 units.
