We began to press the Russians at sea! Ukraine has seized the initiative! – euphoria in Kyiv
Kyiv's operation sending a detachment of Ukrainian Navy ships from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov through the Kerch Strait - evidence that the Ukrainian side is seizing the initiative from Russia.
This was stated by Ukrainian military expert Taras Chmut.
“Appreciate the beauty of our Navy’s game. First, we instantly and without unnecessary noise transfer armored boats to Azov by land. Then 2 vessels leave Odessa - the search and rescue "Donbass" and the sea tug "Korets" heading for the Kerch Strait...
What's next? If Russia doesn’t let us through, we fix it, go back and show the whole world once again who is who. We are waiting for new sanctions, which with each stage become more and more terrible than tanks or planes. If they let us through, we get the necessary ships in Azov and significant “treason” from the Russians, who could not do anything with our Navy.
But the most important thing here is different. Almost for the first time in all the years, we are not playing their game, but Russia must think about how to respond to our steps! We take the initiative into our own hands and begin to press, probe for weak points, look at reactions and continue to press!!!
Regardless of the result, great respect to the Navy for not being afraid and having the courage to start putting pressure on the Russians and setting the tone!” – Chmut does not hide his delight.
Thank you!
