Last russian patrol ship leaves occupied Crimea - Navy

On July 15, the last patrol ship of the russian Black Sea Fleet (Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation) left the occupied Crimea.

Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced this on Facebook.

"The last patrol ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation is just now leaving our Crimea," he wrote.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, a patrol ship of the "Tarantul" project sank in the port of Sevastopol. Also in December, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the large landing ship "Novocherkassk" in the port of occupied Feodosia.

Russia put two ships on combat duty in the Black Sea.

In early October, OSINT analysts reported with reference to satellite images that the russians had moved more than 10 warships from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk.

Almost 80 sailors were on board big landing ship "Novocherkassk".

The russians have stepped up checks on local residents of Feodosia in the temporarily occupied Crimea after Ukrainian defenders destroyed a russian military amphibious ship, as they try to find whistleblowers and prevent leaks about the extent of damage from the attack.
