Russians have halved the number of ships in the Black Sea, but they can prepare an attack, – Gumenyuk
The invaders have almost halved the number of their ships. However, preparations for a new massive strike can continue.
In the Black Sea, the storm is not so powerful yet – it is seasonal. The representative of OK “South” Natalya Gumenyuk said on the air of the telethon that this allows the ship group to be on alert, 24 Channel reports.
They reduced the number is almost double compared to the previous days – these are 6 ships and boats, including one surface launch vehicle equipped with eight “calibers,” Gumenyuk said.
Maybe preparation for the attack
The rest of the launch vehicles and components of the ship group have been brought to the base points. However, according to the speaker, this may indirectly indicate preparations for a massive exit and a massive missile strike.
In addition, pinpoint missile strikes with “calibers” on the territory of Ukraine should not be ruled out. There is also the threat of enemy use of naval drones, but Ukraine is effectively counteracting this.
Russia keeps its ships away
The Russians are positioning ships further east towards Novorossiysk . They fear being hit by Ukrainian missiles.
Thus, the day before, Gumenyuk explained that they were moving deeper into a more missile-safe area. It is because of the narratives that Ukraine expects the arrival of long-range weapons, yet they are influenced.
