💩 Judging by satellite images for today, all ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet left the port of Novorossiysk.
The reasons for this decision of the Russian leadership and the route of the fleet are still unknown.
In the morning, part of the warships, as well as all the large landing ships, left Novorossiysk.

OSINT researcher HI Sutton reports that according to satellite surveillance data, ships leaving Novorossiysk in the morning (large landing ships and their escort) are moving in formation towards Crimea. Other ships, as previously reported, did indeed leave their berths, but the majority remained in Novorossiysk Bay.

According to our source, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is currently conducting exercises.
Ships must be brought to their bases after 23:00.
We separate, the outcome is postponed for now.
Aren’t russien military ships barred from crossing the Bosporus?
Maybe they can leave, but not enter. Would be kind of funny if they’d abandon the black sea like that.
It’s up to Turkey. But according to international treaties they can absolutely forbid them from leaving, iirc
*unless it’s to return to their home port, but then they also cannot reenter. I think that most of the non black-sea fleet got out before the war or just was not in there at all
Turkey controls it, and Turkey does whatever they find useful that day. Right now, Russia sold out “allied” Armenia to Azerbaijan, and Turkey is a part of the regional muslim bloc. I have no idea of their agreements, but it’s not like Turkey is anything close to being reliable partner to western countries
Turkey isn’t a reliable partner for anyone.
