The Armed Forces forced the Russian Federation to withdraw part of the Black Sea Fleet from the Crimea - US General

According to the ex -commander of the US Land Forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, the Armed Forces were eliminated by large logistics ships of Russia. The general now doubts that Vladimir Putin will risk the use of nuclear weapons in the event of Crimea. The Black Sea Fleet of Russia does not currently show activity in the Black Sea, because Ukrainian soldiers have used new and adapted technologies, sabotage operations and special forces against the Russian Federation.

Former US Land Forces Commander in Europe Ben Hodges said this in an interview with Silicon Curtain. According to him, the Navy of other countries carefully monitor the situation in the Black Sea area. "Ukrainians have changed the nature of the war at the sea, at least in a closed water area, such as the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea," he said.

The military noted that unlike the typical strategy of maritime battles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine resorted to the use of new and adapted technologies, as well as operations of sabotage against the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

The success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also testifies to the lack of readiness and efficiency of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, and, according to Hodges, he has shown himself "no better than the Russian land forces in the initial days of this conflict.

" Hodges praised the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had struck large logistics vessels that could be used for transportation in the Azov Sea in case of destruction of the Kerch Bridge, as well as on a dry dock near the occupied Sevastopol, where Russian forces could carry out repair of military ships.

According to Goodges, the retreat of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation creates grounds for doubt in the intention of Putin to use nuclear weapons in case of loss of annexed Crimea. Recall that the Armed Forces planned new blows to the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. It was also reported that, according to Forbes, Ukraine can only protect the grain corridor.
