A Ukrainian underwater drone struck and critically disabled a Russian Project 636.3 Kilo-class submarine inside the Novorossiysk naval base. Ukrainian analysts say the strike effectively removes the submarine from service due to Russia’s inability to repair submarines in the Black Sea, while blast fragments from the explosion may have also damaged a second submarine moored nearby.

On December 12 Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy, together with the Better Regulation Delivery Office and GIZ Ukraine, hosted a conference titled “The Future of Ukraine’s Labour Market. Employment Strategy 2030. Partnership Between the State, Business and People for Economic Recovery.”
