Ukraine-Russia war latest: Two Russian fighter jets destroyed by sea drones as video emerges of strike

Two Russian fighter jets have been destroyed by Ukrainian sea drones, according to reports, with video of the first strike emerging.

Ukraine’s military intelligence said it shot down a Russian Su-30 fighter jet near the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk using a naval drone on Saturday, calling it the world’s first such strike.

The agency chief then told The War Zone that two Russian jets were in fact downed in the operation on Saturday.

US president Donald Trump has said he is not sure if he will be meeting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later this month in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to reporters as he returned to the White House after a weekend in Florida, Mr Trump was asked whether he planned to meet Mr Putin when he travels to the Middle East later this month where he will meet several Gulf leaders.

He said he had not thought about this but “we’ve had some very good discussions” about Russia and Ukraine in recent days.

“There’s a lot of hatred there,” he said.
