The high-value Russian asset was hit during a combat patrol over Ukrainian territory, said Kyiv's Special Operations Forces.

Putin said efforts to end the war were "generally on the right track" and that Moscow was ready to work with Ukraine on a potential peace deal.

Ukraine is set to receive €90 million ($101.35 million) worth of ammunition from Finland, as per a press release from the Finnish Ministry of Defence on Monday. The ammunition will be sourced using Russian financial assets that had been frozen by the European Union just after Moscow began its special military operation in Kyiv, in February 2022.

The gas and oil drilling platforms occupied by Russia since 2015 were targeted in Ukrainian sea and air assault.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Kyiv and its partners were considering arranging a high-level meeting between Ukraine, Russia, the United States, European Union countries and Britain as part of a push to end Moscow's war in Ukraine.
