Naval warfare in the Russo-Ukrainian war (2022–present)

Naval warfare in the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, when the Russian Armed Forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. Media reporting of—and focus on—the invasion has largely been on the terrestrial and aerial aspects, but maritime engagements have been consequential during the conflict. Disputes over Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea have played a prominent role.
