Russian President Vladimir Putin has ousted the country’s navy chief after a series of humiliating Ukrainian attacks decimated Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet, according to multiple reports.

Moiseyev, 61 — who holds the country’s highest honorary title, “Hero of Russia” — was said to have been tapped as acting navy commander-in-chief and will soon be appointed on a permanent basis.
The Russian navy’s rank-and-file have reportedly been notified of Moiseyev’s promotion, and Yevmenov is not expected to be returning to his office at the military arm’s headquarters, the Admiralty, in St. Petersburg, reported Fontanka.
