The Ukrainian Army considers that the Russian naval forces in Crimea are “inoperative.” For its navy, this represents a “key milestone” in the front of the Russian siege on the coasts of the Black Sea.
According to a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Army, “Quantitative indicators are important, but qualitative indicators have more weight. I’m not just talking about the ships that Russia has lost, but also to the critical stages that we have now overcome“. In statements obtained by the media, he celebrates that “one of these milestones is that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea has essentially abandoned Crimea.”
Although he regrets that this is not “no way” a victory. “However, we are making steady progress. This year was challenging for us, but it was even more difficult for the Russians in the Azov-Black Sea region.”
“They now perfectly understand that even the eastern coast of the Sea of Azov and the Krasnodar Territory are not safe areas for them. We have shown this to them, forcing them to adapt, which significantly complicates their operations,” he reiterates.
The publication confirms that “after more than 1,000 days of war, Ukraine has attacked more than 25% of major Russian ships in the Black Sea“. The commander concludes that “they plan future operations taking into account these achievements.”
