The Russians finally refused to repair their warships at the facilities in Crimea due to the threat of Ukrainian strikes – the spokesman of the Naval Forces of Ukraine, captain 3rd rank of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk, said this on the air of the Ukrainian telethon, the Radio Liberty Crimea.Realii project reports.

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

Along with this, the spokesman of the Navy recalled the destruction of the small missile ship “Zyklon” in the Sevastopol Bay, two strikes on the submarine “Rostov-on-Don”, as well as the strike on the small missile ship “Askold” in Kerch:

“These examples tell the Russians that it is impossible in principle to use Crimea for ship repair.”

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

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

According to the Ukrainian Navy, since the beginning of the 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.
