Pletenchuk: Russia cannot mine the Black Sea at the moment

Russian occupants are currently unable to mine the Black Sea. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.

The main danger remains the mine danger caused by the aggressor's activities in the Black Sea. We are constantly taking appropriate actions in this regard. We are constantly patrolling the waters, and if we find such objects, we destroy and dispose of them,

- Pletenchuk said.

Details

According to him, last year there were several incidents involving mines in the Black Sea, but no casualties.

This year, the situation is a little better. First of all, because the Russians are basically unable to mine the waters as of now,

- Pletenchuk noted.

Addendum

After the Ukrainian armed forces' attacks on occupied Crimea, the Russians moved part of the fleet to Novorossiysk, where they closed the entrance to the harbor with barges and booms in an attempt to increase security.
