The role of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation has been reduced by 70%, so it can no longer perform combat tasks.

This was stated by Oleksandr Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research,

UNIAN

reports .

He noted that the situation surrounding the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation indicates that its combat capability has been destroyed by 70%, as it cannot now be used as artillery shelling the south of Ukraine.

Also, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation can no longer be used to cover and land landings.

All the functions of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation are now reduced only to the fact that it can strike Ukraine with Kalibr missiles.

Musienko says that this is indeed a serious threat, but the fleet is created not only to fire at this or that territory, so it can no longer be considered full-fledged.

He recalled that Russia withdrew part of its fleet to Novorossiysk after the "cotton" took place at the airfield in Saki and at the ammunition depot in Dzhankoya.

Then some of the ships were returned and now the flagship ship "Admiral Makarov" has been damaged.

"For now, it is difficult to say how difficult they are from the point of view of carrying out repairs. At least for a while, it will definitely not be able to perform one of its functions - carrying out strikes with Kalibr missiles," the expert emphasized.

We will remind, earlier it was reported that
