According to Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, Russia cannot afford to completely withdraw from the Black Sea water area, so it tries to strengthen its capabilities to defend their remaining fleet from Ukrainian strikes that have reportedly affected some 30 percent of Russia’s naval grouping in Crimea.

As reported earlier, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said 80 combat clashes were recorded along the frontlines in the past day. The enemy launched four missile attacks and 86 air strikes, as well as 114 rocket salvos.
