FSB Russia Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian troops, after the commencement of the Russian special operation, installed about 420 mines on the approaches to the ports of Odessa, Ochakiv, Chernomorsk and Yuzhne.

«Either the teachers turned out to be useless, or the students were careless, or the rusty minreps let us down (the cable or chain with which the mine is attached to the anchor — editor’s note), but the fact is that the mines were not properly serviced,» Popow said in an interview for the TVNZ newspaper.
