The Black Sea operational zone is one of those components of the theater of operations where the Armed Forces of Ukraine dictate their terms to the Russian invaders, destroy the enemy's aggressive plans, and conduct their own active operations. This was stated in Odesa by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, UNN reports.

According to him, the presence of the Russian fleet in the Black and Azov Seas has now been practically neutralized.
"It is our Navy today that is a key element in ensuring defense capability and security in the Black Sea region. The focus is on protecting the southern borders and increasing the ability to operate effectively at sea,"
He emphasized that the role of unmanned and uncrewed systems is becoming decisive in all domains, including at sea.
"Therefore, our task is to scale production, quickly implement new solutions, and act proactively. We will strengthen the combat capabilities of the ship and boat fleet to counter the enemy's sea and air drones,"
Recall
In early May, Ukraine applied "sanctions" against the Russian shadow oil fleet — striking two such vessels in the waters at the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk.
