Military expert: AFU pushed the Russian fleet under the Crimea

Anti-ship weapons enable the Armed Forces of Ukraine to control the waters of the Ukrainian coast. Andriy Ryzhenko, the former deputy chief of staff of the Ukrainian Navy, spoke about this in an interview.

It all depends on which side to look at the slide that the British made. The first side is made with an emphasis on the fact that, of course, the Russians had problems. This complicates their fulfillment of the tasks assigned to them during this "special military operation." It's possible. From the side of Ukraine, it says that thanks to the acquisition of new capabilities, specifically anti-ship systems, we managed to push the Russians under Crimea. They are located near Crimea, very close to the coast, under the protection of air defense systems. But it still allows them to use long-range missiles and strike at Ukraine,” Andrei Ryzhenko said.

Andrei Ryzhenko also commented on the situation with a possible landing on the southern coast.

It's just because we got it under control. In practice, this message contains a statement of the situation that has developed over the month in the Black Sea. The countdown began on April 13, when the cruiser Moskva was destroyed. The second episode is the destruction of the rescue tug "Vasily Bekh." The third episode is the gas platform. There may have been something else, but we don't know about it. The Russians realized it was dangerous there and retreated - Andrey Ryzhenko summed up.
