In Black Sea, calm prevails as Russians now shaping next tactics - Ukrainian Navy

"War is always a search for action and counteraction. That is, the reaction of any party is always a reaction to the actions taken by the enemy. In this particular situation, there was another case, and it is different from the previous ones," he says.

Pletenchuk emphasizes that such ingenuity was shown that as a result, the Russians were faced with another deadlock.

"And now the enemy, firstly, is figuring out why this situation became possible, and secondly, it is, of course, now formulating its further tactics, its further actions, and, accordingly, this is why there is such a lull. The enemy is now deciding how to behave further at sea. Because, unfortunately, there is no permanent antidote to the Russians," he says.

The Navy spokesperson adds that technology is evolving, and the Russian occupiers are also learning and responding to Ukrainian inventions.

"That's why now is the time when they are learning," he emphasizes.
