Ukrainian armed forces said they destroyed a large Russian landing ship at the port of Berdyansk in southern Ukraine.
The United States will expand its sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, targeting members of the country's parliament and the central bank's gold reserves, the White House announced Thursday.Analysis of videos uploaded on Thursday showed that one Russian naval vessel left the port soon after the explosions.
"The ships of this project are very spacious and can take on board a large amount of equipment, up to 20 tanks or up to 40 armored personnel carriers," the ministry said. Russian military troops first occupied Berdyansk government buildings on February 27, three days after Russia's invasion began. Its defenders rejected an ultimatum to surrender by Monday morning, thwarting a Russian effort to finalize a land bridge linking Crimea with the separatist republics of the eastern Donbas region.
