#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.
