Russia could launch a new invasion of Ukraine from the sea – a form of attack that Russian forces "constantly practice", including in Crimea, the deputy head of the Ukrainian navy has said.
Vice Admiral Andriy Tarasov called the threat from an amphibious assault "real" but told Sky News that Ukraine's armed forces would repel any such attempt.
"If you want peace, you need to be ready for war. Since 2014 we focused on restoring our marines and coastal artillery… We have restored their potential. At the moment, the forces we have on the coast are capable of fighting off any landing party of the enemy," Deputy Commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vice Admiral Andriy Tarasov told.
