The Ropuchas may be more significant than we think. It seems that they can’t run civilian freighters into Sebastopol anymore, so they depend on armed, agile, fast (or faster than freighters anyway) amphibious ships for this job.

I understand Crimea already has a considerable shortage of fresh water for irrigation, too. Harassment from every angle possible...
