The Russian Navy is on paper the second most powerful on the planet, thanks to its nuclear submarine fleet. Yet it appears to have retreated in its war with Ukraine. It has dialed back its presence off the Ukrainian coast near Odesa. Much of the northern Black Sea is now a defacto no-go zone for its ships. This likely contributed to the decision to retreat from Snake Island, a strategic gain it made early in the war.
A major factor will have been the arrival of Harpoon anti-ship missiles in Ukraine. But like so many things in the defense sphere, it is more complicated than that.
The naval aspect of the war, in the northwest Black Sea between Crimea and the Odesa coast, can be separated into phases.

Absolutely; the ineffectiveness of their ground/air/naval assault action in Ukraine leaves me wondering about their prowess. If they didn't have the threat of Nukes hanging over the West's head, I'm thinking this might have been beaten back fairly quickly had the US and NATO gotten involved on the ground in Ukraine.
