Russia's Novorossiysk base has become more important as Ukraine consistently targets Black Sea Fleet facilities in Crimea.
New imagery appears to show vessels with Russia's Black Sea Fleet have left the country's Novorossiysk base, after Moscow relocated its ships further east in the Black Sea to shield its fleet from persistent Ukrainian attacks.The imagery, dated June 5, indicates a possible 'exodus' of Black Sea Fleet vessels from the base in Russia's southern Krasnodar region, an open-source intelligence account posted to social media.
Kyiv's targeting of Sevastopol has made Novorossiysk a 'crucial' port for harboring the Black Sea Fleet's 'most valuable assets,' the British Defense Ministry said earlier this year.'Essentially, we have confined the Russian fleet to the Novorossiysk bay,' Vasyl Maliuk, the head of Ukraine's SBU security service, said in late May.
