Quote: "The enemy has dramatically increased the number of ships in their naval group – apparently in an attempt to make a show of its naval presence on Russian Navy Day [celebrated in Russia on 31 July]. But these 14 military ships are manoeuvring along the Crimean coast towards Anapa in missile-safe areas.
Four [Russian] naval missile ships and four landing ships are on standby and ready for action. They are equipped with a total of 32 Kalibr missiles, which constitute a threat of a missile strike [on the territory of Ukraine] from the sea."
