> Russian President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine was the first to strike Russian civilian infrastructure and merchant ships in the Black Sea. He said Ukrainian forces had targeted Russian refineries since summer and tried to blockade Russia’s Black Sea coast, damaging more than 100 Russian and foreign-flagged vessels. Russia has repaired the damage, he said.
