A Ukrainian missile hit the fleet’s headquarters in the city of Sevastopol, on the Russia-occupied Crimean peninsula, on Friday.
However, he refused to confirm the rumored death of Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
But on Monday, the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine said in a post on Telegram that 34 officers were killed in the strike, including Sokolov, according to Ukrainian media.
Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, wrote on social media platform X on Friday that "Romanchuk is in charge of Russian forces in Zaporizhzhia where the main thrust of Ukraine’s counteroffensive is occurring.
This suggests that it wasn’t just a strike on the Black Sea Fleet HQ, but timed to target key senior leaders during a meeting."
Ukraine has vowed to take back the peninsula as part of its efforts to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country, which was launched in February 2022.
