The northern group consists of three Ropucha- class large landing ships and several tug boats. The second group most likely consists of corvettes or patrol ships.
The southern group, labeled Group 1, is led by the Slava Class cruiser Moskva. This appears to have two Alligator class landing ships, and the Ivan Gren class landing ship Pyotr Morgunov. There is also a smaller warship, possibly a Buyan-M class missile corvette.
The ships target isn’t yet clear, it is unknown are they planning to make a landing or it’s just a deceptive maneuver.
Need to notice that Black Sea’s situation is not only under Ukrainian Forces control but also partners from NATO-states’ intelligence.
