Quote: "They continue to try [to restore the railroad connection – ed.], the work is still ongoing, and the full-fledged railroad connection, which would allow them to transfer heavy equipment, has not yet been restored."
Details: Humeniuk added that there was information that the Russians tried to deliver missiles by transport aircraft, but it is not known whether they were able to reach the bays.
So far, Russian missile carriers in the Black Sea have a limited supply of missiles to strike Ukraine.
According to Humeniuk, even when the storm subsided and the number of ships increased to 10 on the morning of 31 March, there was only one missile carrier left – an underwater one that can carry four Kalibr missiles.
Background:
On the evening of 20 March, explosions occurred in Dzhankoi in the north of Russia-annexed Crimea, allegedly due to a drone attack. Ukrainian Defence Intelligence said that Russian Kalibr cruise missiles were destroyed there while being transported by rail.
