Ukraine has something to surprise Russian warships with – Ukraine's Defence Minister
Russia is unaware of all the circumstances surrounding the sinking of the Moskva missile cruiser, which could lead to a new "surprise" for Russian ships in the Black Sea.

Quote from Reznikov: "I would very much like to share the details that I am aware of, but we have an agreement with Oleksii Neizhpapa, Сommander of the Ukrainian Navy, and thanks to his efforts and his team, this [sinking of the Moskva cruiser – ed.] happened. We cannot disclose the details at this time.
Some aspects are still unknown to our enemy, which means that we can still pose another ‘surprise’ for them at sea, another ‘cotton’ [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word ‘vzryv’ (explosion), used ‘khlopok’ (a bang) instead. However, ‘khlopok’ also means ‘cotton’, and this has since become a meme – ed.] related to their warships. We are just waiting for the right moment to repeat this story."
Background: Oleksii Reznikov has invited foreign pilots of F-16 fighter jets, which Ukraine seeks to obtain from its allies, to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
