In this photo released by Russian Defense Ministry Press Service on Friday, July 21, 2023, warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet sail while taking part in naval drills in the Black Sea.Russian Defense Ministry Press Service via AP Russia in July militarized the Black Sea, threatening commercial ships and Ukraine's ports. Lacking major warships, Ukraine has turned to sea drones and cruise missiles to respond. Kyiv's forces have used these weapons to increase attacks on high-profile Black Sea Fleet targets. When Russia announced its intentions to militarize the Black Sea in July, Moscow tried to dominate the waters by issuing a sweeping threat to civilian ships transiting the waters: proceed and we'll consider you party to the war.Ukraine, on the other hand, doesn't have much of a navy, having scuttled its last major warship at the start of the conflict to keep it from falling into Russian hands.
