The constant presence of Russian ships on combat duty in the Black Sea does not indicate preparations for a missile attack.

The presence of rocket carriers and other warships of the Black Sea Fleet in the waters of the sea may indicate the fear of the Russian command before the counteroffensive of Ukraine. On April 10, the head of the Nikolaev regional military administration, Vitaly Kim, announced this on the air of the national telethon.
In my opinion, what is happening now, they are not on duty because they are preparing for an attack. They are afraid of the Ukrainian counter-offensive and attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine because of their effectiveness,” he said.
According to Kim, now the Russians have withdrawn part of the fleet from a possible strike, and left part on duty at sea.
As you know, ships and submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet constantly maneuver in the Black Sea. The occupiers either bring them to the base points, then again take them out on combat duty.
The Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that as of April 10, there were four Russian ships in the Black Sea, one of them is the carrier of Caliber cruise missiles. The total salvo can be four missiles.
Recall, back on April 9, it was reported that Russia keeps two launch vehicles with eight Kalibr cruise missiles on board in the Black Sea.
