Russian propagandist Strelkov posted a photo today with a comment showing this ship under its own power going to the port of Sevastopol, but I did not check the date of the photo.

The Kremlin's Pyrrhic Victory in Bakhmut: A Retrospective on the Battle for Bakhmut
understandingwar.org
The Russian military command initially sought to seize Bakhmut to support a wide encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Donbas in Spring 2022
The successful Ukrainian counteroffensives in Kharkiv Oblast in September 2022 that liberated Izyum ended the prospect of a wide encirclement of Ukrainian forces in the east, thus depriving the attacks on Bakhmut of operational significance.
It is not even clear that the Battle of Bakhmut is yet over.

Russia declared victory over Bakhmut on May 21, 2023, after fighting for the city for nearly a year. The battle marks the first claimed Russian victory over a large city since the capture of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the summer of 2022. The Battle

Judging from the video, the ship was struck near the stern -- i.e. engineering spaces. There was obviously a bit of kinetic energy involved as well. Even if the Russian target survived, it won't be operational for quite some time, I'd think.
I'd be interested in learning about the design of these Ukrainian surface drones, shaped charges, type of explosive, etc, if anyone has any info.

The fact that they can and have renders a lone ship nothing more then a target.

And the cost trade-off means that Ukraine can take asymmetric warfare afloat. An unmanned drone boat has to be cheaper than even a freighter manned by 15 or 20 sailors.

Ukrainian pilots to train on Sweden’s Gripen jets, says minister
Ukrainian pilots will have the opportunity to undertake basic training on the fourth-generation Saab JAS 39 Gripen jet fighters, Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson said during a visit to Ukraine on May 25, as reported by Swedish TV channel TV4.
However:

Now maybe some other users could share them but I think only The Czech Republic would be an option realistically.

It's too bad Ukraine wasn't able to buy Gripens in the 2010s. By now they'd have dozens over the battlefield.
Imagine being on a Russian warship facing a pair of low flying Gripens armed with RBS15 anti ship missiles. Just look at the size of these beasts!

Remember that the Gripen is a relatively small platform itself though.
