My brother in Christ, you are losing a naval battle to a country that has no navy.

That's not new to them, hundred years ago they managed to lose a naval battle to a country that not only didn't have navy, but it even hadn't existed yet.

What is this source, united24media.com? It has no wikipedia page. This is triggering bullshit detectors.

There is this: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/united24-media-bias-and-credibility/
So, probably funded by the Ukrainian government, we don't really know, because the funding is opaque, but in practice, seems like they don't overtly lie about anything. Pro-Ukrainian bias, so unlikely to be the bearer of bad news, like Russian advances or victories. In other words, Ukraine probably did hit 105 shadow fleet vessels in 8 days, or at least something like that.
