As the Ukrainian military, armed and coordinated by NATO, continue to attempt to attack the city of Sevastopol, where the base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is located, the bulk of the warships have moved to safer areas.
The transfer of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was reported by the Western media and confirmed by the satellite imagery. The Russian military officials did not comment on the issue.
After several Storm Shadow missiles struck the city of Sevastopol, including the historical building of the Headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet and the ship repair plant where two ships were damaged, most of the warships were relocated to the Russian port in Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar Kray, and the city of Feodosia in the eastern part of Crimea.
According to the satellite imagery, three submarines, two missile frigates and one patrol ship moved to Novorossiysk and a number of small rocket ships, as well as new minesweepers, went to Feodosia.

Months ago, the Russian military command threatened Kiev and its Western partners with a tough response and strikes at decision-making centers in response to attacks on Russian territory with the use of NATO missiles. However, in the end, the Russian Ministry of Defense does not recognize that Crimea, in particular Sevastopol, are regularly attacked by Storm Shadow missiles. After the strikes on Crimea and other Russian regions, Russian forces respond with massive strikes on the military and industrial infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine, but the decision-making centers in Kiev, and especially in Europe, remain untouched. Of course, the results of the Ukrainian strikes are negligible compared to the possible consequences of Russian attacks outside Ukraine. However, such impunity unleashes the hands of Kiev and NATO, which fully coordinates attacks on the Crimean Peninsula and other Russian rear areas.
The redeployment of the main part of the Black Sea Fleet also signals that Russia is not planning any military operations in the Black Sea, amphibious operations in the Odessa region, from which strikes are being carried out on the peninsula and where Kiev is trying to ensure the operation of its alternative grain corridor.
haha! see how pathetic russian military is? they are fleeing from a country that doesn’t even have an operational navy. the russian wonder weapons such as air defences don’t seem to work. the airforce has been unable to counter ukranian airforce with a few aircrafts.
why to risk material & the lifes of seamen? occupying odessa can happen, when there is no ukro-army anymore.
odessa will not come gift wrapped, it will have to be fought for – something rus seems averse to. the withdrawal will be worth countless billions to an emboldened z and the west’s m.i.c. “we’ve got them on run” will be the cry and both ukr nazis and nato will be delirious.
is the next step mass evacuation of crimea? or maybe giving back the donbass, zaporozhye and kherson? who knows what tactical genius is running this for rus, but to run scared from uk missiles is not a good look.
nobody is running scared from anything. why concentrate an entire fleet in just one harbor? if and when ukraine decided to launch a massive storm shadow assault the chnaces of their fleet staying mostly afloat depends on how they are positioned. look at the ukrainian fleet, it took just three days to sink over 90 percent of it. don’t twist things to suit your narrative, deep down you know you’re grasping at straws just to try and make a pointless argument
these attacks were predictable. defences and organisation should have been sorted 21/22, so why now (if not running from the mediocre stormshadow)?
propaganda value to z is immense – the fleet doing a runner from its ancient base!
march 22; rus looked set to take odessa in weeks, but it backed off instead of asserting total control of the black sea. now the useless brits appear to be calling the shots. you’re the one is grasping, i’m just pointing out (uncomfortable) facts.
because putin realizes that odessa never needed to be taken. it will be returned to russia intact by the treaty which zelensky will eventually sign.
please explain how you figured that out, or have you simply adopted the wishful thinking being promoted by usa media shills?
the west will not collapse, run out of weapons or hand back ukraine – except perhaps in ashes of white phosphorous. if rus wants to denazify/demilitarise ukr and protect its own borders (inc donbass etc) it has to take back ukr by force.
life’s a bitch, innit?

fin-ass-on, could you please stop trolling? nobody is buying your bullshit. stop pretending being concerned about russian moves. it’s obvious for which team do you play. say, how much british mod pays these days for trolling?
nice try, miss marple, but you’ll have to do better.
go after fake pro-rus in the media, some with sputnik/rt, some on alt-media. clue, all praise rus tactics, ‘chess mastery’ and inevitable victory.
me, i don’t buy it. the evidence is there for anyone with eyes to see; and rus needs to avoid being suckered into complacency by such pro-us shills (and that’s just for starters).
ps: infantile name calling with a name like yours is perhaps not advisable.
@finlayson. i think you’re right. the withdrawal of the russian navy is a defeat. anybody willing to open their eyes can see that. schachzug? you don’t withdraw your knight to the edge of the board.
whatnare you celebrating? they already won… all this is a counter terorist op long ago…
fleeing and repositioning isn’t the same thing. but tell me more about the ukrainian navy and how they faired during the first three days of the conflict. oh, that’s right, all their boats were sitting ducks and over 90% got to sleep with the fishes because their “supreme commander” failed to reposition their entire fleet.
ukraine has resorted to using speed boats and jet skis. 🤣🤣🤣
what a glorious navy. 😆😆😆
yes ‘…speed boats and jet skis…..’ to take selfies in crimea then die.
are you saying that speed boats and jet skis posed such an overwhelming threat that rus decided to move its black sea fleet from its symbolic impregnable black sea hq? or is there some other reason? think carefully now…
and while you are thinking, perhaps you could forecast when rus will remember what the smo is supposed to be about, besides protecting crimea (just asking for a friend in donbass).
are you saying that your mouth is full of blaсk сoсk again?
us warships did the exact same thing in hawaii during their war with japan.
us warships at anchor were destroyed in the mass jap attack 7 dec 1941, this was followed by a jap dec of war against usa and british empire. no comparison.
rus had years to secure the black sea, it can’t keep backing off (next kamchatka?). it needs to go full on offensive, secure ukraine and kick the puppet govt out of kiev.
then build a solid wall against the fascist colonial west and look south and east.
fascist capitalist paedophilic and genocidal anglo scum, u and ur satanic breed along with ur khazarian friends into paedophilia and genocide will be deleted soon from the face of earth. amen
how did the storm shadow missiles reach cukraine? why were the consignments not destroyed as soon as it crossed cukraine border?
per frachtflug, tägliche flüge richtung nord aus italien
why weren’t those flights shot down
all of them.
france and britain are tapped out, which is why they cannot send the taurus, they are the last the european nato has.
this will just cause the west to react with weapons with bigger range …
russia should just offer every people they like to relocate to russia proper.
should have done it in 2014 allready.
fear of the west’s reaction is why rus has got itself into the current mess. it has been running scared since the mid 1980s, and sold itself out in 1992. rus has battered wife syndrome, it can’t admit the west wants to harm it.
rus chooses to dream of a rosey future as part of the tripartite ‘great north’ with usa and eu – and this conflict is just a lover’s spat.
one day rus will wake up to the west’s designs, and for the sake of its civilians i hope that day comes soon.
…this is quite embarrassing, dear russians.
when will you finally bring washington and london to the ground with nuclear weapons?
if you don’t finally solve this problem, you will have another 100 years of your trouble with these idiots!!!!!
with nuclear war, nobody wins.
besides the fact that there are no such weapons.
that’s right, nuclear weapons are an invention of the media!
disperse to lessen losses. pearl harbor level attack coming but the us dosnt get to lend turkish bases yet.

common sense at the moment, but there should have been a massive response to those missile attacks on sevastopol.
exactly. meanwhile the black sea should be now be a no-go zone for all ukrainian shipping.
just russia baiting in nato. when they come to open and “protect'” their odessa grain corridor russia will appear and squish them like always. attrition of nato, ukraine is done.
sf wants us to believe in gargantuan losses of the ukr military and “blind rage”… and on a small aside, they manage to dislodge the russian black sea navy. wow.
the russian “mare nostrum” has effectively been ceded.
sf is out to deceive/delude (like other embedded media shills), or has lost the plot. the psy-op that rus needs to do nothing but wait, dig in, kill thousands of slavic conscripts and (eventually..) the west will collapse is hilarious. rus can then take ukr (no fighting) and everyone will be pals!
rus soldiers will likely still be sat in trenches by 2030, surrounded by eu infrastructure with tourists pointing at them.
“look, heinz, they think a war they are still fighting, ha ha”.
