On September 22, Razvozhaev reported on the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. He urged local residents not to approach the fragments of shells and not to publish photos and videos from the scene of the incident and the work of air defense.
