Background. Recall that Natalia Humeniuk, Head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of the Defence Forces of the South of Ukraine, stated that the southern regions of Ukraine remained under a high level of threat from missile attacks from the russian occupying forces, as they had yet to achieve their set objectives.

According to her, there remains one missile carrier in the Black Sea. The spokeswoman warned that the occupiers resorted to a tactic of attacking Ukraine from a bay without taking the missile carrier into combat duty.
