Ukrainian underwater drones have struck two tankers, used within Russia’s so-called shadow fleet in the Black Sea as confirmed by a Ukrainian security official. The attacks took place on Friday and Saturday with Kyiv acknowledging responsibility after reports of explosions targeting the vessels.

A security source stated that Sea Baby maritime drones were deployed in a coordinated mission involving the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Navy.

Russia has not released an official reaction to the strikes. According to the Ukrainian source both tankers sustained severe damage rendering them unable to operate.

The source added that the outcome significantly disrupts Russian oil logistics. Russia relies on hundreds of tankers many registered under various flags to continue transporting its oil despite international sanctions.

On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the United Nations Security Council, stating that newly discovered massacres after the departure of Russian soldiers near Kyiv might be worse than those in Bucha, where even more than 300 civilians were tortured to death, according to him. As worldwide indignation grew over the fatalities, Western officials promised a broad probe into potential war offenses and increased consequences against Moscow.

President Biden urged for a war crimes prosecution on Monday in response to reports of rape and the slaughter of people in Bucha and other Russian-occupied towns, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be held responsible.

The deaths of people in Bucha, a region outside of Kyiv that recovered from Russian forces, were termed “genocide” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday. “These are crimes against humanity, and the world will acknowledge them as genocide,” Zelensky said after a visit to Bucha, where bodies were found scattered throughout the town after Kyiv’s forces recovered it.

Following the discovery of mass burial sites and reportedly killed people in Bucha, Ukraine and Western countries have charged Russian forces with atrocities, triggering threats of proceedings at the International Criminal Court. However, the Russian Defence Ministry refuted that its troops massacred residents in the area reclaimed by Ukrainian troops lately.

India’s reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine has indeed been “shaky,” according to US President Joe Biden, as one of Europe’s bloodiest wars since World War II approaches its one-month mark, with key cities in the nation fighting for survival. “With the potential exception of India, which is a little weak on some of this,” Biden added, “the Quad has been extraordinarily strong — as has Australia — in addition to dealing with Putin’s aggressiveness.” India, Japan, the United States, and Australia form the Quad, a four-nation alliance.

The US also asked India to consider oil supplies from Moscow after Washington took a major measure prohibiting crude oil shipments from the Kremlin.

According to the administration, at least 15-20 Indians remain in conflict-torn Ukraine and are awaiting evacuation. It stated that “Operation Ganga” rescue missions “are not over.” “We are assisting these individuals in whatever way we can. There are still some individuals in Kherson. Operation Ganga is still ongoing, and we are assisting anybody who wishes to be evacuated.” Arindam Bagchi, the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, stated in a press conference. Kherson is located in the south of Ukraine.

When hostilities in Ukraine rose, the Indian embassy in Kyiv launched a registration campaign for Indians in January, and by the end of the month, 20,000 Indians – largely students – had signed up. More than half the students were enrolled at colleges in eastern Ukraine, which borders Russia, according to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. So far, this region has been the focus of the war.

Till now, 22,500 evacuated from Ukraine, among which some were in isolated pockets and some don’t want to return.

Ukraine urged an ‘immediate ceasefire’ at the fourth round of negotiations on Monday, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv’s diplomats were pressing for direct talks with Putin, according to news agency DW. The discussions were suspended on Monday and will resume on Tuesday, according to one of Ukraine’s negotiators. “The discussions have been put on hold until tomorrow due to a technical issue. In order to do extra work in the working subgroups and clarify specific definitions. Negotiations are still ongoing,” said Mykhailo Podolyak, a negotiator.

Likewise, a Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman has dismissed claims by US authorities that Russia requested military weaponry from Beijing for its operation in Ukraine as “disinformation.”
