Ukrainian Intelligence Neutralizes Russian Railway Ferry 'Slavyanin' in Kerch

Special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, known as HUR MO, successfully neutralized the last railway ferry of the occupiers named 'Slavyanin' on the night of April 5-6, 2026. This information was confirmed in an official statement published on the HUR MO Telegram channel.

According to the report, the operation was conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which struck the ferry, rendering it inoperable. 'Slavyanin' was the last railway ferry still afloat in the Kerch Strait, and its destruction will significantly complicate the logistical capabilities of Russian troops in the region.

It is important to note that the ferry 'Slavyanin' played a key role in supplying the Russian military contingent stationed in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea. It was used for transporting fuel, weapons, military equipment, and ammunition, making it an essential element of the occupiers' military infrastructure.

This operation continues a series of successful actions by Ukrainian special forces, who had previously disabled another railway ferry of the occupiers named 'Avangard' in March 2026. During that same operation, 'Slavyanin' also sustained damage, indicating a systematic approach by Ukrainian forces to disrupt the enemy's logistical routes.

The actions of HUR MO demonstrate the increasing effectiveness of the Ukrainian military in conducting combat operations against Russian occupiers, as well as their ability to deliver significant strikes on key infrastructure targets of the enemy. This, in turn, could substantially impact the combat capabilities of Russian troops in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

It is worth noting that the Kerch Strait is a strategically important route for supplying resources to occupied Crimea. The destruction of the ferry 'Slavyanin' may lead to serious complications in the logistics and supply of Russian troops, which could, in turn, affect the course of military operations in the region.

Thus, the successful operation by HUR MO not only showcases the military prowess of Ukrainian special forces but also their determination in the fight for the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity. This is yet another vivid example of how Ukrainian forces actively counter aggression and seek to dismantle the military infrastructure of the enemy.
