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.

Haven't seen a Newsweak anywhere in public in the last 30 years.
Prog Socialist unamerican shills seem to love Newsweak though.
Ok thanks. Kind of confusing from a distance.
“Despite having no conventional navy of note, Ukraine has scored repeated successes against the Russian fleet at sea.”
That right there makes you wonder about the role of navies.
Sorry but, Piffy still loves Speedy more than you.
Last I read Russian warships were banned from transiting the Bosporus due to the war.
Is that you in the red cap?
Did you two start crying when your favorite propaganda site www.oryxspioenkop.com shut down because their lies were no longer supportable and made them look ridiculous? Now you two clowns are totally reliant on MI6/CIA controlled British tabloids and propaganda mills. Sad really.
