Russia's navy still posing Black Sea threat

UK's Ministry of Defence says that Russia's Black Sea fleet still has the capacity to strike Ukrainian targets, Qazet.az reports.

According to British intelligence, Russia's naval strength in the Black Sea includes around 20 vessels, with submarines also as part of the fleet.

However, the closing of the Bosphorus Strait to non-

Turkish warships has meant the Russian navy has been unable to replace its downed flagship cruiser, the Moskva, the update adds.
