The Armed Forces advised the Russians to flood the entire Black Sea Fleet to protect the Crimean bridge (video)
This was known from the commentary of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of the telecast of August 31. "Given the lessons of history, I can advise them to repeat the tactics of one of their admirals and flood the entire Black Sea Fleet right away. It seems to be the best solution and solve many problems immediately. At least, it will save the life of their personnel," he said.
The Navy spokesman confirmed that the Russians flooded the barges around the Crimean bridge. He explained that the purpose of the enemy was to protect the illegal structure from attacks. "But in order to completely block it, it is probably necessary to really close navigation in the area. And only then, maybe there will be some guarantees that nothing will be burned there. In another way, as far as it is clear, they cannot protect it ", - Pletenchuk emphasized.
However, the military does not believe that the Russian Federation will really dare to block navigation through the Kerch Strait. According to him, then the invaders will not be able to plunder the Zaporozhye and Donetsk region. He explained that the Russians are now removing Ukrainian grain and metal from temporarily occupied territories, turning off the automatic identification system (AIS).
The Armed Forces representative informed that recently Russia has strengthened its "border" grouping around the Crimean bridge. "The Kerch Strait protects at least 10 units now. For example, 6 boats and 5 border ships," Pletenchuk said. He stressed that the Strait belongs to the territorial waters of Ukraine and all actions of the Russians in the waters are illegal.
