Ukraine has forced the Russian fleet to "curtail" in the Black Sea, but the missile threat remains - Humeniuk
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine's armed forces have significantly reduced Russia's naval presence in the Black Sea, but Russia retains a missile capability with a range of 2,500 kilometers, which poses a constant threat to Ukraine.
In the Black Sea, the occupiers' naval grouping has almost been curtailed due to constant attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, there is still a danger of missile attacks, as the missile weapons that the occupiers have are capable of covering a distance of 2,500 kilometers. This was stated by Natalia Humeniuk, a spokeswoman for the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, on the We Are Ukraine TV channel, UNN reports.

According to Gumenyuk, the naval grouping in the Black Sea has been almost curtailed to 3-5 units on combat duty. According to her, the withdrawal of the Russian ships is due to "convincing" strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the infrastructure and on the ships themselves.
"They even chose to deploy deeper and farther away from the Ukrainian-controlled coast. At the same time, the danger of missile attacks remains, because the naval missile weapons they have are capable of covering a distance of 2,500 kilometers - the missiles continue to threaten the entire territory of Ukraine, and the enemy has already practiced using them - even from their base points," said Humeniuk.
In addition, Russia has difficulty servicing and loading Kalibr missiles because the infrastructure is located in Sevastopol.
