Vysotsky did not rule out that Russia could increase the number of its ships in Sevastopol until hundreds, but also said that after the expiration of the lease term base in Sevastopol, Russia’s fleet from the Black Sea will not go anywhere.

“The basic agreement gives us the opportunity to have the Black Sea Fleet to the hundreds of ships, but now we have 35, the number of can reach up to 25 thousand, and we have 11. Then we can pose the question - what prevents us man up the number to the base” - quoted Vysotsky RIA Novosti. Commander of the Navy said that the state “may appear moments, which we will respond with the Black Sea Fleet.” “And it concerns not only the Black Sea, and Mediterranean”, - he said.
