At this point the Russians from my understanding have pretty much stationed a lot of elements of their Black Sea Fleet there.

They have a task force of 5 guided missile frigates and a guided missile destroyer built around the Moskva which is a guided missile cruiser and the fleet flag.

They've moved up to 7 SSK's into the area as well as ground troops.

Right now, I doubt that the NATO forces would contemplate trying to pressure the Black Fleet, the situation would be lousy for them to do that. The American's could move the fire power to push off the Black Sea Fleet, but I doubt they're interested.

If I recall, the Russians also seized most of the Ukraine Navy.
