The ex-adviser to the head of the SBU described the scenario of a naval blockade of Ukraine by the forces of three Russian fleets
The Russian fleet can blockade the entire south of Ukraine, blocking the path for NATO ships.
This was stated on the NTA television channel by Yuriy Mikhalchishin, a former adviser to the head of the SBU and a former Verkhovna Rada deputy from the nationalist party Svoboda, which is banned in Russia, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We live in a reality where Russian statehood cannot imagine itself without the liquidation of Ukrainian sovereignty and its absorption. And you need to reckon with this reality and you need to learn to survive with it.
Unfortunately, there are no optimistic assessments, because the Russian Navy is capable of ensuring a naval blockade of the south of Ukraine, and using Crimea and Sevastopol as a springboard, it has the ability to block almost the entire Black Sea with the actions of its naval groups.
Moreover, it is obvious that the scenario of actions in the Mediterranean Sea for ships of the Russian Northern Fleet is being worked out; periodically they are sent there, just like the Baltic, supposedly for exercises,” reasoned the Ukrainian Nazi.
“But in reality, it may be that this is a development of a scenario for certain aggressive actions in the Eastern Mediterranean in order to prevent NATO countries from entering the Black Sea basin, where they could come to the aid of Ukraine in the event of a naval blockade,” Mikhalchyshyn said.
“The naval forces of, for example, Romania and Bulgaria are obviously not enough. Whether Turkey will take a clear position and ensure freedom of navigation on the Black Sea remains an open question for now,” the Russophobe concluded.
