the successful attack on the Moskva
Seems like much of its purpose was to provide cover for amphibious assault. From Forbes:
Moskva led the Russian navy’s seaborne assault on the Republic of Georgia back in 2008, protecting three amphibious ships that landed a battalion or two of naval infantry.
One would assume, given the successful attack on the Moskva, that the Russians will be even more reticent to try to land at Odessa.
