Both able to mount denial operations, neither able to assert control. And for Russia that's worse, because as the stronger party they have more assets that they can't use now.
Last night #Russia channels reported "explosions near Crimea bridge". By morning it became evident that this time #Ukraine naval drones hit an empty Russian tanker "Sig" anchored in Kerch strait. The tanker was previously used to supply fuel to Russian army group in Syria. Russian sources published photos from inside the tanker with damaged and flooded engine room, while Ukrainian sources published radio intercepts between Kerch sea control and the tanker crew who confirmed they are immobilized. Along with the previously damaged Russian landing ship, this not only creates a serious threat to Russian group logistics in the south but also to Russian navy which relocated from Simferopol to Novorossiysk specifically for safety reasons. If you donated to Ukraine naval drones crowdfunding run by U24 last year, you can rest assured your money is being spent effectively 👍

Ukraine has no Navy as of today, while they do have an Air Force. That means the comparison isn't particularly apt - for a nation with no Navy, Ukraine is having a lot of success sinking or disabling high value naval targets.
I am waiting for the first news of a russian submarine promoted to a dive site.
