British intelligence: Russia is looking for ways to keep the fleet in the Black Sea

The Russian Navy has resorted to limiting its operations in the eastern part of the Black Sea, as its losses are increasing.

“As Ukraine continues to seek long-range strike capabilities, the Russian Ministry of Defense has been forced to step up efforts to maintain its fleet in the Black Sea,” the British intelligence report said.

In particular, Russian Defense Minister Serhiy Shoigu recently visited the command post of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Crimea.

At the same time, British intelligence adds that special attention has been paid to conducting daily drone combat readiness exercises to enable the ship’s crews to quickly repel attacks day and night.

Shoigu also ordered to equip unidentified facilities with additional large-caliber weapons to strengthen their defenses.
