Alexandr Kovalenko: It is a great disgrace for Russia that a country with a navy is losing to a country without a navy

The Russian fleet is already facing danger in the Black Sea, and the occupying country is starting to realize this. This opinion was expressed by military-political analyst Alexander Kovalenko during a broadcast of the information telethon, commenting on the damage to two major Russian vessels in the Black Sea in the last two days.

He pointed out that the incapacitation of Russian ships affects both the situation in the Black Sea and the land-based combat zone.

"The Black Sea is no longer safe for Russian military ships, and they are beginning to understand this. When they withdrew from the grain agreement, they threatened Ukraine with terror, and they carried it out in the ports and grain hubs of Odessa, Odessa region, and Mykolaiv. They also threatened civilian and commercial vessels that would enter Ukraine. How did it end? As we can see, there have been losses among Russian ships and vessels. So, they need to draw conclusions from this. Perhaps it's time to head to the Caspian," Kovalenko noted.

Regarding the attack on the Russian oil tanker, he mentioned that the vessel was transporting sanctioned fuel and lubricants, which helped the occupiers finance their military actions.

"This is a shadow tanker of the 'gray' transportation and export scheme of Russian oil products. It is connected with the war. It is financing the war and providing Russia with currency for the illegal oil exports. So, it was also a priority target. Well, it has been taken out of commission until they repair it. If they repair it," Kovalenko said.

According to him, any ship that enters the ports of Russia can indeed be considered as a vessel transporting weapons or other military-related cargo.

"Therefore, such a ship can automatically be targeted so that it no longer sails. Similarly, for military ships, at least Russian ones, they should already consider that it would be safer for them to be in the Caspian Sea rather than the Black Sea," the expert emphasized.

He added that after some time, the Zaporizhzhia region will be liberated from the occupiers, allowing Ukraine to regain control of the Azov Sea coastline.

"If that happens, the Azov Sea will no longer be controlled by the Russian terrorist fleet," Kovalenko noted.

He agrees that Ukraine, using cutting-edge developments, demonstrates modern warfare.

"In these drone incidents, Russia accuses Ukraine. If we look at it from this perspective, this case in history has no parallels, where a country with a fleet loses a naval battle to a country that has neither a fleet nor a fleet of ships. It is a huge disgrace for Russia. RF has entered history in this way," Kovalenko emphasized.
