200 ships and boats all part of the various fleets stationed in Russia’s second city. During the event, he was seen looking bored and unbothered as he sailed across the city’s water and into the dock while fireworks exploded around him. -snip- Meanwhile, Ukraine has over the weekend...

CBS News ^
| June 5, 2024 | David Martin
The U.S. expects Russia to begin air and naval exercises in the Caribbean in the coming weeks, according to a U.S. official. The
exercises, which will involve Russian warships and long-range bombers, will be the first simultaneous air and naval maneuvers Russia has conducted in the Caribbean since 2019.

However, the exercises have been planned for some time, the official said, and it seems unlikely they are a response to President Biden's recent partial lifting of the ban against the...
