#Ukraine - Russia's Black Sea Fleet: Ukraine's navy says Russia has pulled back its ships

16 December 2024

The Ukrainian navy is reporting that Russia has pulled it's Black Sea Fleet back to the Sea of Azov.

Since the War in Ukraine began, Ukraine's navy has sunk or destroyed at least a quarter of the fleet.

Targeted attacks by Ukraine have killed a large number of the fleet's commanders. In November, a Russian commander in charge of missile batteries for the fleet was assassinated. In eastern Ukraine, Russian forces are advancing on several fronts. Russian forces are within one-and-a-half kilomters of the town of Pokrovsk -- a vital road and rail junction.

For months, the strategic town has been the focus of Russia’s attempts to take the region. The Russian Ministry of Defence said its forces also took control of two villages in the Donetsk region. Al Jazeera's Alex Gatopoulos has more from Kyiv on the withdrawal of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

#Syria #Assad #Damascus - One week into post-Assad rule in Syria • FRANCE 24 English

15 December 2024

It has been a historic week in Syria, the first week in a half-century that the Assad family did not rule the country.

As rebels took hold of Damascus and Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, thousands of political prisoners were released into freedom, and Syrian people were dancing in the streets.

Here's a look back at this decisive week.
