“This storm affects the military situation. The enemy's naval grouping keeps increasing and decreasing. It is currently in a critically small state as there is only one vessel. All the missile carriers are in their basing points and are taking shelter from the storm.”

According to Humeniuk, it is also stormy in the Sea of Azov, so no ships have deployed there, either.

The storm has also stopped Russian efforts to conduct aerial reconnaissance, she added.
