The Jerusalem Post reports: “Nine Russian warships, two of which are missile carriers, in combat condition have been seen on the coast of Crimea, according to a Sunday report by Ukrainian media outlet Ukrinform.

On March 18, Ukraine’s Navy claimed to have spotted 14 Russian warships off the coast of Crimea, four of which were missile carriers. It is unclear whether they were all combat-ready.

The report quoted Ukrainian spokesperson for Operational Command South (OCS) Natalia Humeniuk. 

Humeniuk said that the naval vessels are more than 100 nautical miles from Ukrainian weaponry, which means that Ukrainian forces have been unable to attack the vessels so far.

As of February, eighteen Russian warships were reportedly destroyed by Ukrainian forces since the beginning of the invasion…”
