According to Humeniuk, there are no missile carriers on duty in the Black Sea. At the same time, she reminded that it takes 2-3 hours for them to return and be ready for attacks.

The head noted that after massive attacks, Russians take a tactical pause to re-plan their actions. She emphasized that the invaders have the capabilities, including drones, so massive attacks can be repeated.
