TOPSHOT-UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT-WAR

TOPSHOT - A Ukrainian serviceman holds a MANPADS (Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems) "Stinger" anti-aircraft weapon as they scan for possible air targets, onboard a Maritime Guard of the State Border Service of Ukraine boat as it patrols in the northwestern part of the Black Sea on December 18, 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This boat is part of Kyiv's strategy aimed at keeping the Russian military fleet away from the Ukrainian coast, with the key mission of securing the corridor set up since August between Ukrainian ports in the Odessa region and the Bosphorus Strait, after Moscow slammed the door on an international grain agreement.
