A large part of Russia's mauled Black Sea Fleet was seen leaving the port of Novorossiysk this week, with satellite images suggesting the berths of the southern Russian port had been largely emptied despite the ever-present threat posed by Ukrainian maritime drones and missiles.
The intentions of the vessels departing Novorossiysk—further from Ukrainian-controlled territory and considered safer than the Crimean ports repeatedly bombarded by Kyiv's forces—remain unclear.

The Black Sea Fleet has been forced to largely abandon its traditional bases of choice on the occupied Crimean Peninsula because of numerous—and ever more sophisticated—Ukrainian long-range attacks. Despite having no conventional navy of note, Ukraine has scored repeated successes against the Russian fleet at sea.
Among the most high-profile Black Sea Fleet losses to date are its flagship guided missile cruiser Moskva, the Rostov-on-Don attack submarine, and several Ropucha-class landing ships. Kyiv also destroyed the fleet's headquarters building in Sevastopol in a cruise missile strike in 2023.

It was a bug out because Ukraine was planning to finish off the remaining Black Sea fleet in Novorossiysk on June 7th. Someone tipped off the Russians and they got the hell out of there.

Maybe Russia moved the fleet over to the White Sea because of DEI.
