The Russians have finally refused to repair their warships at facilities in Crimea because of the threat of Ukrainian strikes. This was stated on the air of the Ukrainian tele-marathon by the spokesman of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, captain of the 3rd rank of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk, they write Crimea.Realities.

“We have already proven in practice that the Russians will no longer be able to use repair bases for the Black Sea Fleet. In order to restore the ships, first they need to be brought there, and now no one will do this,” Pletenchuk said.

At the same time, Pletenchuk recalled the destruction of the small missile ship “Cyclone” in the Sevastopol Bay, two strikes on the submarine “Rostov-on-Don”, as well as the attack on the small missile ship “Askold” in Kerch. “These examples suggest to the Russians that it is still impossible in principle to use Crimea to repair ships,” said the spokesman of the Armed Forces Navy.

On November 20, British intelligence said that since February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have destroyed or damaged more than 25% of the main Russian warships operating in the Black Sea.

At the same time, British intelligence emphasizes that despite the fact that the Russian Black Sea Fleet is currently limited to the territory of the eastern part of the Black Sea, it retains the ability to strike from a long distance on the territory of Ukraine to support land operations.

According to the Ukrainian Navy, since the beginning of a full-scale war, the Russian Black Sea Fleet has lost about a third of its ships due to damage to Russian vessels during Ukrainian strikes.
