broke the news yesterday: Since the withdrawal of Snake Island , Russia's Black Sea Fleet showed three warships and two landing ships nearby. This has aroused high vigilance in Ukraine. They said that Russia may forcefully invade Odessa and increase its offensive against the Black Sea.
But at present, the possibility of the Russian army landing in Odessa is not very high, but the future is hard to say. After all, giving up Snake Island is equivalent to giving up the door bolt of Odessa. If you want to knock on the door of Odessa, it is most convenient to pull the bolt.
Since we have chosen to abandon Snake Island, it means that the possibility of the Russian army landing in Odessa through Snake Island on the Black Sea coast in the near future is very low, and there are still many mines that have not been eliminated. In addition, from a geographical point of view, Snake Island is undefendable, and the Russian army chose to retreat because it can capture it at any time. Once the Ukrainian army lands, there will be an opportunity to consume the Ukrainian army's effective strength through long-range missiles or drones.
It can be said that the appearance of these ships may be just a false shot. If these warships can be used to cruise nearby, the Ukrainian army's strength in the south can be contained, and further prevent them from reinforcing the eastern Donbas region. Second, it can also cut off the shipment of weapons, equipment and combat materials from Romania to Ukraine. Finally, taking combat operations here will also allow Ukraine to lose control of the coastline here in the future, allowing the Russian army to form a horseshoe-shaped deployment from north to east to south, then the Crimean Peninsula will be safer.
