About 20 ships of the russian federation's military forces in the Black Sea, including submarines.

This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense, referring to the intelligence data, broadcasts Radio Svoboda.

"Despite the disgraceful losses of the landing ship "Saratov" and the cruiser "Moscow," the russian Black Sea Fleet remains able to strike at Ukrainian and coastal targets," - the statement said.

At the same time, British intelligence points out that the Bosphorus remains closed to all non-Turkish warships. So russia will not be able to replace its lost cruiser "Moscow" in the Black Sea.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that there are ships of the Black Sea Fleet with cruise missiles "Caliber" in the Black Sea. Their full volley is up to 28 missiles.

As is known, enemy naval groups in the Black and Azov Seas continue to isolate the area of hostilities, conduct reconnaissance, and provide fire support to their troops in the coastal direction.

On 19 April, it became known that Russian ships had departed almost 200 km from the Ukrainian coast. This happened after the flagship cruiser "Moscow" sank in the Black Sea at night on 14 April. The Ukrainian anti-ship cruise missile "Neptune" damaged it in the evening.

At the beginning of the war, the cruiser "Moscow" and the patrol ship of the russian Black Sea Fleet "Vasily Bykov" demanded surrender to Snake Island's defenders. They responded with the legendary phrase, "Russian warship, go fuck yourself!"
