This is the best summary I could come up with:


Speaking this week, James Heappey, the UK armed forces minister, said Russia’s Black Sea fleet had suffered a “functional defeat”.

The liberation of Ukraine’s waters was “every bit as important” as the counteroffensive last year in Kharkiv oblast, during which Kyiv regained territory, Heappey added.

Reznikov likened the boom in indigenous drone production to the early days of Silicon Valley, when Steve Jobs built the first Apple computers in his garage.

These setbacks led Russia to agree a “grain corridor”, brokered by Turkey and the UN, in which merchant ships departed and arrived in Odesa and two other ports.

On Wednesday, British intelligence said Russia was planning to sabotage the new humanitarian grain corridor, through which more than 30 ships have departed and arrived from Odesa and neighbouring ports.

It was unlikely British naval warships would patrol the Black Sea, a plan suggested on Sunday by the UK defence secretary, Grant Shapps.
