Eight Russian ships are on combat duty in the Black Sea on December 12, with no missile carriers among them.

That’s according to Ukraine’s Navy, Ukrinform reports

"In the Sea of Azov, the enemy continues to control sea communications by keeping two warships on combat duty; in the Mediterranean Sea there are nine enemy warships, of which five carry Kalibr cruise missiles with the total salvo of 76 missiles," the statement reads.

Throughout the day, in the interests of the Russian Federation, three ships passed through the Kerch-Yenikal Strait from the Sea of Azov to the Black Sea in Russia’s interests.

According to the Navy, the Russian Federation continues to violate the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by turning off automatic identification systems (AIS) on civilian vessels in the Sea of Azov.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, referring to Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, in using cruise and ballistic missiles against Ukraine, the Russian invaders have long gone beyond the limits of the reserve they require.
