After the attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Crimea, it has two options: voluntary or forced destruction, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) secretary Oleksiy Danilov said in a Facebook post on Sept. 22.
The best option for the Russian military would be to scuttle its fleet, he advised.
"There are two options for the future of the Russian Black Sea Fleet — forced or voluntary self-destruction," the official said.
“The best and safest way to preserve the integrity of the property and economic complex of the city of Aqyar (old name – Sevastopol) and the surrounding areas is voluntary scuttling.”
"Otherwise, the Russian Black Sea Fleet will be sliced up like salami: the process is painful, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine carry out precision strikes exclusively on military infrastructure.”
