FILE - In this photo released by the Russian Defense Ministry Press Service released on June 19, 2022, the Russian frigate of the Black Sea Fleet from the Black Sea launches a Caliber cruise missile at designated ground targets on a mission at an undisclosed location in Ukraine. Successful Ukrainian drone and missile strikes have provided a major morale boost for Kyiv at a time when its undermanned and under-gunned forces are facing Russian attacks along the more than 1,000-kilometer front line. Challenging Russia???s naval superiority also has helped create more favorable conditions for Ukrainian grain exports and other shipments from the country???s Black Sea ports.
