““For us a truce at sea is the termination of shelling of port infrastructure of Ukraine,” Dmitry Pletenchuk said”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
“For us, a truce at sea is the cessation of shelling of the port infrastructure of Ukraine. This is for us, we see it so. What Russia puts it, of course, it is not difficult to guess, but in any case it is necessary to read the final document, then it will be possible to draw any conclusions, ”Dmitry Pletenchuk said.
According to the Navy spokesman, if you rely on facts, the maritime component of Russian attacks is not the main. Pletenchuk noted that the Iskander-M missile complex, which is in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, and from which strikes in the territory of Ukraine are carried out.
Also from the purchased Crimea – from Cape Chaud – run shock drones of the Shahamed type. According to the Navy spokesman, the question of whether it will be considered a maritime component in ceasing fire at sea remains open.
“As of today, the carpet carriers in the Black Sea have been applied three times in three months since the beginning of the year. To say it was a good use now, for example, I can’t. The rest of the applications are from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. If you take the Tactical-Tactical I Iskander-M missile system-the launches occur from the territory of Crimea, that is, land. If you take the Shahaneda launches, it is also Cape Chaud, Crimea; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Russian Federation. Yes, they come from the sea, we meet them from the sea. But whether it is a maritime component or not. The rockets they run from the aircraft from the Black Sea, or are it part of the armistice at sea, ”the Navy spokesman said.
