Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSatellite images appear to show Russian warships closing in on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, two experts say.
Naval analysts H I Sutton and Damien Symon say there appear to be three groups of ships closing in on Odesa, including a lead phalanx with what appears to be a ship tugging a minesweeper.
The two other formations appear to include missile boats and landing craft, leading to speculation that Russia could be planning an imminent amphibious assault on the coastal city.
