Russia preventing Ukraine resupply by Black Sea - UK military intelligence

Russia retains the capability to attempt an amphibious landing, but such an operation is likely to be increasingly high risk due to the time Ukrainian forces have had to prepare, the Ministry of Defence tweeted https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1510484072744820740?s=20&t=xEQAqYl3qVCJ8CgTBDeb6A in a regular bulletin. "Mines within the Black Sea pose a serious risk to maritime activity," it said.
