The occupiers are withdrawing their Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk. However, there have already been “pops” more than once.

Military expert Vladislav Seleznev stated this to Channel 24 , noting that the large landing ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Olenegorsk Miner, was damaged there. Note that the enemy ship was hit in August during a joint operation by the SBU and the Navy.

“There, a tanker ship was damaged, acting in the interests of the Russian occupation forces operating in Sevastopol and, accordingly, in the Mediterranean Sea. There, damage was caused to part of the oil refinery terminal of the corresponding infrastructure in Novorossiysk,” the military expert emphasized.

There's plenty of work

Speaker of the Ukrainian Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk said that 15 Russian ships have already been destroyed. And at least 12 more were damaged. Seleznev added that according to alternative data from the General Staff, since the beginning of a full-scale war, 1 Russian submarine and 22 ships and boats have been destroyed. However, Ukraine still has work to do.

The occupiers have many carriers of sea-based missiles of the “Caliber” type. However, the vast majority of them are located near the waters of Novorossiysk. The military expert added that, probably, only one missile ship is at the entrance to Sevastopol Bay.

This is how the Russians are trying to protect their fleet from the influence of Ukrainian missiles and kamikaze drones. In addition, the invaders do not abandon their attempts to keep, in particular, the Ukrainian Defense Forces under serious tension .

The other day there were serious storms in the Black Sea. Therefore, Russian ships cannot go on combat duty. However, when the weather stabilizes, the occupiers will do so. Therefore, you need to be prepared.

“We have repeatedly heard statements, in particular from representatives of Ukrainian intelligence. They say that as soon as weather conditions become such that there will be a maximum load on the energy infrastructure of our country, the enemy will again return to the tactics of missile terror,” added Vladislav Seleznev.

Consolidated position

According to media reports, a merchant ship carrying wheat exploded in the Black Sea off the Ukrainian coast. It probably hit a floating sea mine. The Russians install them along the path of ships that move towards Ukraine or other countries in the Black Sea basin. However, there is no effective response from international institutions to such criminal actions of the occupiers.

In order to fundamentally resolve this issue, there must be a consolidated position. “In order for all the ships of the enemy Black Sea Fleet to be either sunk, or in the same way driven to those places from where they will not even show their noses,” the military expert emphasized.

What's happening in the Black Sea

• Ukrainian defenders attacked Russian landing boats on November 10. The boats “Akula” and “Chamois” were destroyed.
• The Russians, after successful strikes by Ukraine, are moving their Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk. The Atesh movement recorded how the enemy capsized its ships, troops and equipment.
• The Ukrainian Navy stated that the capabilities of the occupiers in the Black Sea have decreased significantly recently. All thanks to the work of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The Russians are currently on the defensive. However, there is still a danger.
