The Russian naval grouping in the Black Sea consists of 15 ships, including a submarine with four Kalibr missiles.

Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the Joint Press Center of the Operational Command South, said this on the air of the national telethon 'United News', an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The enemy is really deploying a large, numerous ship group. Now there are 15 units in the Black Sea, one is traditionally in the Azov Sea. In the Black Sea, it is likely that (the invaders - ed.) are preparing for provocations and are trying to disperse their ship's composition so that it is not concentrated in one place. As for the missile carriers, there is only one submarine left on duty. These are four Kalibr missiles that are ready for use," said Humeniuk.
