This was reported by spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, at a briefing at the Ukraine Media Center - Ukrinform.

"In fact, they have concentrated all significant serious combat units in Novorossiysk. Taking advantage of the fact that Ukraine complies with international requirements in terms of compliance with international protocols and international maritime law, they are now actually in their territorial waters. There are still assets in Crimea that are either under repair, which is at least 15 units, or that have no place to be placed in Novorossiysk," he said.

Pletenchuk also noted that the russians again used submarines to launch cruise missiles, but their submarine fleet is now at the basing point, and the passage from the harbor is closed.

"The operation of other ports like Sochi and Tuapse is complicated by the fact that there is not enough infrastructure to protect these ships, so they still accumulate them in Novorossiysk. The use of the base in Abkhazia also does not have the result they claim in their media, because it is a small base, and only the FSB coast guard is based there. After all, larger warships cannot maneuver there. Therefore, we can say that the status quo remains. The only thing we can see from the new tactics of the new leadership of the Black Sea Fleet, the so-called ha, is an increase in the use of the aviation component in the sense of patrolling," the spokesman explained.

On April 10, it became known that the russian occupation army used a submarine to launch missiles at Ukraine on Monday, April 8. This was the second case in six months.
