Ukraine's drone forces destroyed 105 Russian shadow fleet vessels over eight days (July 6-13, 2026) while simultaneously striking Crimea's power grid and air defense systems. The shadow fleet is a key workaround Russia uses to circumvent international sanctions on its oil exports, so disabling these vessels directly targets Russia's wartime revenue and energy logistics. Multiple credible sources including Kyiv Post, Ukrainska Pravda, and The Guardian confirm the figures, suggesting Ukraine has escalated its maritime campaign significantly.
