This is reported by<\/a> the German publication Bild.<\/p>\n

According to journalists, a few days earlier, the Russian warship Admiral Levchenko had entered the Baltic Sea. Later, the Admiral Kasatonov was also spotted in the region.<\/p>\n

The frigate was commissioned into the Russian fleet in 2020. It belongs to the Admiral Gorshkov class and, according to Bild, is capable of launching Caliber and Zircon cruise missiles.<\/p>\n

The ship was recently used to escort and provide security for Russian cargo ships in the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel area.<\/p>\n

Bild notes that the strengthening of the Russian military group in the Baltic Sea comes after Vladimir Putin’s threats to Western countries. The Russian leader stated the possibility of a “mirror” response if Western countries begin to seize the ships of the Russian “shadow fleet” and confiscate their property.<\/p>\n

Maritime security expert Moritz Brake believes that in this way the Kremlin is trying to create additional uncertainty and increase the cost of countering the Russian “shadow fleet.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In addition, Russia continues to reject proposals for a complete or partial cessation of hostilities, trying to maintain the support of the pro-war part of the population on the eve of the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.<\/a><\/p>\n
