The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is undergoing new losses even against the backdrop of shipping ships to Novorossiysk - the media

According to Turkish analyst Yoruk Ishik, the Russian Federation tries to create another base in Abkhazia and will soon send a towing vessel to support in the seaside city of Okamchire, where they plan to modernize a small naval object. Most of the Black Sea Fleet was withdrawn from the base in the Crimea, at the same time Ukraine continues to strike loud blows on the Russian Navy. Newsweek writes about it with reference to Ukraine's official statements and assessments of military analysts.

The General Staff of Ukraine stated that Rostov-on-Don's submarine was struck on Friday, August 2, at the port of Sevastopol, where he "sank in place". According to Kiev, the Friday attack on the occupied peninsula was also targeted on four starting installations of the C-400 air defense. Without its own fleet, Ukraine continued to strike on Russian ships, using Western rockets of long range and marine drones, forcing the fleet to move east to a base in Novorossiysk in Krasnodar region.

"Rostov-on-Don" was probably also planned to be taken to Novorossiysk, "-said Yuruk Ishik, analyst from Istanbul consulting company Bosphorus Observer. He noted that the submarine was repaired after the drone in September 2023. For the maritime tests In July, the UK stated that at least 26 Russian vessels were damaged or destroyed.

He stated that Ukraine forced the Russian fleet to obey with the help of drones and missiles of the Navy of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk recently stated that the "last patrol ship" of the Russian Federation is coming from the Crimea. According to analyst Yoruk Ishik, the Russian Navy is now unable to recover in the western parts of the Black Sea as they have lost many resources.

"Due to the closure of Bosphorus, Russia cannot introduce new resources into the Black Sea, except for a limited number of smaller units from the Caspian Sea," he said. He also added that Moscow is trying to create another base in Abkhazia, which is recognized as part of Georgia at the international level, but is essentially controlled by the separatist authorities.

Ishik said that Russia would soon send a towing ship to the object in the seaside city of Okramchire, where they plan to modernize a small naval object used by the Russian fishing fleet. "The Russian fleet not only moves east to Novorossiysk, but also looks further, into the southeastern angle of the Black Sea-to a safe harbor, as far away from any possible Ukrainian attack," the analyst said.

He also considers the timely strike of Kiev on the ship of the Black Sea Fleet on the background of some advance on the front line and the exchange of prisoners, which the Kremlin can present as an attempt to agree on the end of the war. "It is important for Ukraine to have successful operations that show that it can wage a war in which it can still win," he said.
