The aggressor country Russia is forced to stop blocking Ukrainian exports through the Black Sea because it is afraid of losing ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

After a series of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on ships in August and September, the enemy most likely doubled its defenses. In addition, Russia was forced to relocate some of its ships and submarines from occupied Crimea to Novorossiysk. Also, the aggressor is forced to defend against surface drones, drone attacks and missile attacks from Ukraine. The British Ministry of Defense announced this on Twitter on October 14.
However, British intelligence notes that the Russian Black Sea Fleet still continues to launch missiles at Ukraine. According to experts, the enemy can do this from the eastern part of the Black Sea.
It notes that the risk of further military losses and the dire political consequences of an outright attack by the Russian Navy on merchant ships would likely outweigh any gains from trying to force a trade blockade in Ukraine.
Previously, the UK Ministry of Defense suggested that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had actually managed to defeat the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
Let us remind you that the Ukrainian Armed Forces repeatedly attacked Russian ships this summer and fall. In particular, the other day the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using experimental weapons of the Sea Baby drones, attacked the Buyan cruise missile carrier and the ship Pavel Derzhavin off the coast of the occupied Crimea.
