Quote from Humeniuk: "A total of 44 Calibre missiles are pointed toward Ukraine. And this threatens not only the southern regions. The range of these missiles can hit almost all of Ukraine. So the threat of missile strikes remains."

Details: She also added that three large landing ships of the Russian Federation are on [combat] alert in the Black Sea. And although stormy weather does not contribute to the landing, the coast of Odesa and Mykolaiv region remains a line of defence.

Humeniuk noted that Russia's Black Sea Fleet is constantly being reformatted. Now Russian occupying forces ships are trying to not stay too close to the Ukrainian shores - probably due to the recent destruction of the Russian ship "Vasily Bekh."

Background:

In the morning of 17 June, the naval forces of the Armed Forces struck the Russian "Vasiliy Bekh'' tugboat with a TOR anti-aircraft missile system on board, which carried people and weapons to Zmiinyi (Snake) Island.
