Ships and boats transferred to reinforce the Russian group from the Northern Fleet and the Caspian Flotilla also continue to be in the Azov-Black Sea region,” Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel General Ruslan Khomchak said at a meeting of the NATO Military Committee in a format with Ukraine, Ukrinform reports with reference to the General Staff statement on Facebook.
