The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kirill Budanov, said that only the name remained of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, it has long turned into a coastal defense fleet.. He said this in an interview with Liga. net.

\? It has long been. There is only one name left - the Black Sea Fleet. But in reality, this is already a coastal defense fleet. And no more. This is a flotilla of ships that can solve limited tasks.. No more,"

The head of intelligence, answering a clarifying question, noted that this happened not even during a full-scale war with Ukraine, but even earlier..

" It’s just that this myth was destroyed with the start of the active phase of hostilities on February 24,” said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
