    Isn’t Turkey blocking the strait that connects to the black sea? Also would Russia not be able to destroy them fairly easily?

      In what way is Russia able to exert naval power right now? All they can really do is littoral sabotage with clandestine assets hence why Ukraine wants the minesweepers.
