Putin dismisses Navy chief after losing 25% of Black Sea fleet. Since the war began, Ukrainian forces have destroyed more than two dozen Russian ships, including a military patrol boat last week.

It seems that the Ukrainians... have also sunk a career: that of the head of the Navy, Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov. If the dismissal is confirmed, it would be the biggest shake-up in Russia's top military leadership since Vladimir Putin's dismissal of aerospace force chief Sergei Surovikin last year.
