Russia continues to redeploy Black Sea Fleet from Crimea, Ukraine promises ‘new steps’ to target it

Russia is continuing the redeployment of its Black Sea Fleet from occupied #Crimea to the relative safety of #Novorossiysk after yet more successful strikes on its ships, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) reported on March 21.

Speaking on national television, HUR spokesperson Andrii Yusov said Black Sea Fleet headquarters infrastructure and warships “are being actively relocated.”

“The redeployment to Novorossiysk continues, although they cannot completely leave temporarily occupied Crimea without naval forces as such,” he said, adding: “Otherwise, that would mean fleeing.”
