On the morning of July 3, one Russian Navy warship was present in the Black Sea, according to the Ukrainian Navy.
According to the military, one Russian warship is currently in the Black Sea, but no cruise missile carriers are present.
There are no vessels in the Sea of Azov.
However, three Russian ships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea, one of which is capable of launching up to four Kalibr cruise missiles simultaneously.
Over the past day, the following vessel movements through the Kerch Strait were recorded in Russia’s interests:
-
Into the Black Sea: 4 vessels, including 1 that continued toward the Bosphorus Strait;
-
Into the Sea of Azov: 7 vessels, 6 of which came from the Bosphorus.
The Ukrainian Navy noted that Russia continues to violate the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by switching off automatic identification systems.
