Russia has significantly reduced the use of its naval carriers in the Azov-Black Sea region in recent months.

This was announced by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon, Censor.NET reports.

According to him, over the past three months, including July, the Russian Federation has been using naval carriers only once a month.

"Previously, they used them much more actively. Probably, they still have some difficulties with the operation of the ship and boat fleet in the Azov-Black Sea region," Pletenchuk said.

Pletenchuk emphasized that the situation was caused by the forced abandonment of the base in Sevastopol. As a result, the Russians cannot maintain a permanent presence in the Black Sea and are forced to rely on small vessels.
