If a Russian landing force lands in the Sea of Azov, the maximum that Kyiv can respond to is a land operation.
Military expert Oleg Zhdanov stated this on air on the Zik channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If we are talking about a naval operation, then we do not have the forces and means. Today it is impossible for our warships to enter the Sea of Azov, because the Kerch Bridge is guarded by warships of the Russian World Cup, both on the surface and underwater. We have virtually no forces and resources in Azov other than the coast guard. If a naval landing operation begins, we can only confront it on the ground and repel it,” he said.
