British intelligence: Russian Black Sea Fleet still capable of hitting Ukraine

The Russian Black Sea Fleet, despite the loss of ships, retains the ability to strike at Ukrainian coastal targets.

According to Caliber.Az, this is stated in the intelligence review of the British Ministry of Defense on Thursday morning.

It is noted that currently in the Black Sea operational zone there are about 20 ships of the Russian Navy, including submarines.

The Bosphorus remains closed to all non-Turkish warships, leaving Russia unable to replace the lost cruiser "Moskva" in the Black Sea.

“Despite the shameful loss of the landing ship Saratov and the cruiser "Moskva", the Russian Black Sea Fleet retains the ability to strike at Ukrainian coastal targets,” the report says.
