The video features archival footage from May 9, 2014, depicting the entry of nine Ukrainian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles from the 72nd Brigade into the city of Mariupol and the initial fighting there. The video has become relevant again today, as Major General Mykhailo Drapatiy, who participated in those events in 2014, has been appointed the new Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It's worth noting that many foreign viewers are unaware that the current war in Ukraine actually began in 2014, when Ukraine was a unified state. The BMP-2 was developed in the early 1980s and is still used by both the Ukrainian and Russian armies.
The Russian military continues to attack Ukrainian vessels in the Black Sea. Video footage shows Geran-4 Seeker drones striking dry cargo ships and a bulk carrier in the Black Sea and at the port of Chornomorsk. Following the attacks, Maersk, one of the world's largest shipping companies, officially announced it was temporarily suspending services to the port of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region "due to the current situation" and rerouting vessels to Romania. According to the latest reports, vessels have stopped calling at Ukrainian Black Sea ports due to Russian strikes in the region. Ukrainian media reported this, citing the country's Minister of Agrarian Policy, Taras Vysotsky. According to him, the decision was made by the shipowners themselves.
