The large landing ship Kostiantyn Olshanskyi was allegedly sent for repairs to the 13th shipyard of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Kilen Bay.

"Only the hull of the ship is basically left. There are no watertight doors, the portholes are missing their covers, and the interior is completely gutted. The tank compartment hatch on the bow is missing, as is the ramp," the report said.

After 2014, it was repeatedly reported that the Ukrainian vessel was being used as a "donor" for spare parts to repair Russian Project 775 landing ships of the same type, the Telegram channel added.

In March 2024, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck the Kostiantyn Olshanskyi with a Neptune missile.
