Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, stated that Russia is unlikely to withdraw its Black Sea Fleet from Novorossiysk, even after significant Ukrainian strikes on its warships.

Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk announced that the Ukrainian Navy is prepared to join the Strait of Hormuz demining operation with two ships based in Portsmouth, UK, provided certain conditions are met.

Ukrainian military spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk stated that Novorossiysk is now the only viable base for Russia's Black Sea Fleet after its inability to fully utilize Crimea as a naval base.

According to Ukrainian military spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, Russia has used ships to launch cruise missiles at Ukrainian territory only once over the past month. Currently, there are no enemy ships present in the Black and Azov Seas.
