Russia has not deployed its missile carriers to the Black Sea for more than three weeks - Humeniuk
Kyiv • UNN
Russian warships have not been deployed in the Black Sea for more than three weeks since November 29, mainly due to weather conditions and Ukrainian strikes. However, the threat of missile attacks remains, as the ships are armed and on alert.
Russia has not put warships on duty for more than three weeks. The last time the missile carriers went to the Black Sea was on November 29, Natalia Gumenyuk, a spokeswoman for the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, said during a telethon, UNN reports.
Details
According to Humeniuk, the weather conditions and constant attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces are affecting the occupiers' naval group, which has been virtually curtailed. There are two ships patrolling the Black Sea and one in the Sea of Azov.
According to her, the ships are staying in the direction of Novorossiysk, away from the Ukrainian coast, where they consider it a safe area.
We have not seen the missile carriers in the Black Sea for more than three weeks on combat duty, but we know that they are equipped and ready to use, and we remember that it takes them two or three hours to get on combat duty. While it is storming, the sea is on our side, but the storm is not so critical that we do not use the missile carriers at all. Obviously, the enemy is accumulating resources and waiting for the right moment to launch missile attacks
She also noted that the last time the presence of Russian missile carriers on combat duty was observed on November 29.
Recall
In the Black Sea , the occupiers' naval grouping has been almost curtailed due to constant attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, the danger of missile attacks remains, as the missile weapons possessed by the occupiers are capable of covering a distance of 2,500 kilometers.
