Russia has withdrawn all ships from the Black Sea — what threats remain.

Ukraine has pushed the Russian fleet out of the northwestern part of the Black Sea, but the threat to shipping remains. Sea mines and air strikes pose dangers to civilian vessels and vacationers.

This was stated by the spokesman of the Naval Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk, during a national telethon 'We Are Ukraine'.

Shipping under threat

According to him, the activity of Russian ships has been halted, but shipping continues to remain under threat.

'Of the three main threats to maritime shipping, we have eliminated one — the naval one. The Russian fleet cannot operate openly in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. However, the mine and aerial danger remain', Pletenchuk emphasized.

Mine danger under control

According to the spokesman of the Naval Forces, the situation with mines is currently under control. Safety measures ensure monitoring, demining, and provide safe routes for vessels.

'We have organized everything so that the maritime corridor operates, which is very important for the maritime state of Ukraine', Pletenchuk emphasized.

Dangerous aviation

The spokesman of the Naval Forces stressed that the air threat remains the most complex. He highlighted the advantage of the Russians in the air and warned of potential dangers.

'The Russians maintain air superiority using ballistic missiles, rockets, and drones. We hope for the support of the Air Force and our partners', explained Pletenchuk.

Beach relaxation is dangerous

The spokesman also warned about the dangers during relaxation on the beach. Storms may wash mines ashore, which can lead to explosions even on official beaches.

According to the protocol, the safe distance from any suspicious object in the sea or on the shore should be at least 1 km.

We remind that Russia cannot build its own aircraft carrier and about the reproduction of the American blue crab in the Black Sea.

During the telethon 'We Are Ukraine', the spokesman of the Naval Forces of Ukraine emphasized that after pushing the Russian fleet out of the northwestern part of the Black Sea, shipping remains under threat due to mine and air dangers. Ukrainian military forces are taking measures to control this situation, ensuring safe routes for vessels and emphasizing the importance of safety on the coast during recreation.
