Your comment is absolutely ridiculous. The Russians took the trouble of sailing Five Ropucha-class Landing ships, One Ivan Gren class landing ship and one Improved Kilo-class submarine, on the dates shown below, just before Turkey closed the Bosporus Strait to war ships:
Once the Moskva was sunk, other ships damaged and destroyed and the rest of the fleet fearful of advancing to the Western shore of the Black Sea, all six of the landing ships, those not already destroyed became redundant. This is because any plans to land on the Southern coast of Ukraine had been effectively and literally scuttled. The use of the ships was then relegated to that of ferries.
What is incredible is that the military that claimed to be the "2nd strongest military in the world" is hiding behind the Surovikin defensive line that was built by the Russians to protect them from the Ukrainians. That would be both ludicrous and hilarious, if the topic were not so serious and gruesome. {RIP Surovikin. Possibly another of Pootin's "Tea or Window" victims.}
Furthermore, the remains of the much vaunted Black Sea Fleet, following damage to or destruction of 27 ships, boats and a submarine, have had to retreat from Sevastopol to the Port of Novorossiysk in Russian territory, to the East of the Kerch Strait.
In February 2022, the Black Sea Fleet was reinforced by six landing ships: Five Ropucha-class, One Ivan Gren class of landing ship and one Improved Kilo-class submarine, before Turkey closed the Bosporus Strait to war ships:
From the Baltic Fleet on February 9th
-- Minsk (127), Ropucha class of landing ship Effectively destroyed/parts
-- Korolev (130) Ropucha class of landing ship, and
-- Kaliningrad (102) Ropucha class of landing ship
From the Northern Fleet on February 11th
-- Pyotr Morgunov Project 11711 Ivan Gren class of landing ship
-- Georgy Pobedonosets (016) Ropucha class of landing ship, and
-- Olenegorsky Gornyak (012) Ropucha class of landing ship came Seriously Damaged
-- Rostov-na-Donu (B-237) Improved Kilo-class submarine. Totally destroyed
Black Sea Fleet.
-- 'Novocherkassk, Ropucha class of landing ship Totally destroyed

Russia Admits To Accidentally Bombing Its Own Village
"Moscow said its military accidentally bombed a village in the southern Voronezh region on January 2 during a massive Russian attack on Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry said six buildings had been damaged but there were no casualties in Petropavlovka, some 150 kilometers east of the border with Ukraine. It came on the same day that Russia’s military launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Ukraine, with four killed and nearly 100 injured in Kyiv and Kharkiv, the two cities targeted in the Russian attacks."

Russia admits its own warplane accidentally bombed Russian city of Belgorod, near Ukraine border

"Moscow — When a powerful blast shook a Russian city near the border of Ukraine residents thought it was a Ukrainian attack. But the Russian military quickly acknowledged that it was a bomb accidentally dropped by one of its own warplanes.
"Belgorod, a city of 340,000 about 25 miles east of the border with Ukraine, has faced regular drone attacks that Russian authorities blame on the Ukrainian military, but the explosion late Thursday was far more powerful than anything its residents had heard before.

"Witnesses reported a low hissing sound followed by a blast that made nearby apartment buildings tremble and threw a car on a store roof.
"It left a 66-foot-wide crater in the middle of a tree-lined boulevard flanked by apartment buildings, shattering their windows, damaging several cars and injuring two residents. A third person was later hospitalized with hypertension.

Immediately after the explosion, Russian commentators and military bloggers were abuzz with theories about what weapon Ukraine had used for the attack. Many called for a powerful retribution. But about an hour later, the Russian Defense Ministry acknowledged that the explosion was caused by a weapon accidentally dropped by one of its own Su-34 bombers. It didn't offer any further details, but military experts said the weapon likely was a powerful 1,100-pound bomb.
In Thursday's blast, the weapon was apparently set to explode with a small delay after impact, to hit underground facilities.
