Against this background, the Russian military command put reconnaissance and attack ships, as well as coastal missile systems of the Black Sea Fleet, on duty. As the Russian Ministry of Defense noted, this was done “to quickly respond to possible emergency situations.”

“In designated areas of the Black Sea, patrols have been organized by reconnaissance ships, as well as naval strike groups, Bastion and Bal coastal missile systems, and naval aviation aircraft,” the Russian military said.
