Russia Withdraws Black Sea Fleet Vessels From Crimea Base After Ukrainian Attacks

Big news! Bravo, the Ukraine offensive is working one step at a time!

"The bulk of Russia’s naval vessels in Crimea were moved to Novorossiysk, a Russian port on the Black Sea."

"Ukrainian missile and drone strikes are challenging Moscow’s hold on the peninsula. The vessel moves represent a setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose 2014 military seizure of Crimea marked the start of his attempt to take control of Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment. Moscow’s ships will still be able to fire missiles on civilian infrastructure, naval experts said, but the withdrawal comes as Ukraine is dealing with slow counteroffensive advances, heavy losses and uncertainty about the future of U.S. aid."
