Moscow has been deploying ships in the Mediterranean Sea to expand its military presence in other regions, Kyiv said.
Russia has deployed three more cruise missile carriers to the Mediterranean Sea with a total of 20 missiles, the Ukrainian Navy said on Wednesday.'As of 07:00 on April 24, 2024, there are no enemy ships in the Black Sea, one enemy ship in the Sea of Azov, and seven enemy ships in the Mediterranean Sea, including three carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles with a total salvo of up to 20 missiles,' the navy said on its Telegram channel.
Pletenchuk added that Russia typically deploys ships on rotation, and that there is 'the simultaneous presence of several units' in the Mediterranean Sea.'In general, they have a permanent naval operational connection there, so they have been present there for many years. What tasks they perform—that's a different story,' he said.
