  1. It doesn't work like this. Crimea has several southern/eastern ports (IE Feodosyia) that can be used to resupply it. If the Ukrainians are not able to enforce a real naval blockade around it (and they aren't) the Russians are not going to leave it without a fight.

By ship you can transport huge quantities of anything (huge WWII armies had been entirely supplied by ship) If the Ukrainians are not able to enforce a real naval blockade around it (and they aren't) the Russians are not going to leave it without a fight.

  4.  @lepetitroquet9410  Anti ship missiles fired from where? The only Russian ship surely hit by anti-ship missiles so far was practically in front of the Ukrainian coast. The Ukrainians had not been able to repeat that feat as soon as Russia retreated the ships a little, even if those had still been used to missile strike Ukraine. Anti-ship missiles have a range, and even Sevastopol for how close it is to Ukraine, seems to be out of it. So far, no naval drone attacked anything further than Sevastopol, and the damages they did to ships in navigation had been negligible. Mines need to be deployed, and redeployed, again and again, to be effective, because minesweepers exists. How? So far the further the Ukrainian Air Force pushed outside the Ukrainian coast had been Snake Island. The moment Ukraine will be able to flight safely over the route from Feodosyia to Novorossysk, there would be no need to mine it. Ukraine would already have the complete air control over Crimea.

  5.  @jpa5038  Goods are not transported by the Black Sea fleet, but by merchant ships. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but ships don't need any refinery in Crimea to ferry from Crimea to the Russian ports on the east side of the Black sea. They can actually transport fuel TO Crimea. There are only 190km distance from Novorossiysk to Feodosiya. Any sizeable cargo ship can do that route back and forth several times before refueling. The Black Sea not being the Atlantic is actually an advantage if you have to transport goods, and your enemy doesn't have a fleet, or the domain of the air, to contest the shipping.

  6.  @jpa5038  Usually things like wars changes the ferries' schedule. Russia HAS many merchants in the Black Sea and Crimea HAS ports large enough (more than enough) in the southern/eastern part. Ukrainian drones NEVER hit anything there, and the damages they inflicted to ships during navigation had been, so far, insignificant. The farthest action the Ukrainian aviation did outside Ukrainian coast, so far, had been over Snake Island, so I wouldn't hold my breath for anti-air being destroyed over Crimea, or legions of drones wreaking havoc in the southern part of the peninsula. Currently, Ukraine has not the capacity to blockade the peninsula, that's all.

  7.  @jpa5038  It's a complete nonsense. Commercial ships transport thousands of tons of military equipment daily. Like they did in any major war fought near to a sea since the invention of shipping. Are you stupid enough to believe that all the ships that transported military goods for the Allies in WWII did born as military ships? The Moskwa had been hit by missiles, not drones, practically in front of the Ukrainian coast, not on the southern/eastern part of Crimea. Missiles have a range. And infact, even if you are too idiot to know it, the Ukrainians had not repeated that feat, despite the Russians using their ships to launch missile strikes on Ukraine. Kerch bridge had been hit by a truck bomb. For how stupid you are, even you should know it's improbable for one of them to hit a ship. Even if you are too ignorant to know it, Sevastopol is on the west side of Crimea, in front of the Ukrainian coast and, despite repeated attacks, there's no news of any ship sunk by those drones. Nothing you described poses any serious treat to Russian shipping in the eastern/southern part of the Black Sea. But evidently you don't have enough brain to even understand it
