They evacuated the Russian Navy from Sevastopol(on the Crimean peninsula) and moved it to the Russian mainland on the other side of the Black Sea.
It's kind of like when all the Russian appointed leaders fled Kherson...which then shortly thereafter fell.
It's not a 100% indicator but it certainly isn't a good sign if you are rooting for Russia or for a tie in the case of the tug.
It's also strategically basically surrendering the Western Black Sea that Russia was controlling for the whole of the war...but my territorial gains!
Allows the opening of Odessa for shipping again as well.
I could go on, it's a massive development and strategic surrender, but that's probably more than most in here will accept against the current narrative.

Thanks, @NRO_Dawg
I saw this movie once or twice, it was called Pearl Harbor
(True story but way before my time)
I saw another movie a couple times too.
The guy in the movie said the best way to avoid a punch is to... "When punch comes..Best no be there"
Sound like something an "intelligent" person could learn from these movies.
Just food for thought

They already sank multiple billions worth of naval equipment including the flagship but yeahh...food for thought the Russians are really playing 4D chess here.

Wasn't my point, wasn't arguing with you...moving some assets around to avoid being a sitting duck with all your eggs in one basket isn't 4d chess. Its common sense. They moved 10 ships, not the whole fleet

The level of American support for supplying arms to Ukraine has experienced a significant decline, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos survey released Thursday.
In the poll, just 41% of participants agreed with the idea of the U.S. continuing to furnish weaponry to Ukraine.
This is a substantial drop from the 65% of respondents who held this view in a survey conducted in June 2023.
Among Democrats, a majority expressed support for providing arms to Ukraine, although this figure has dipped from 81% to 52%. Conversely, within the Republican camp, backing for this policy has also waned, declining from 56% to 35%. Independent support plummeted from 57% to 44%.
The most recent poll indicates that support for providing financial aid to Ukraine is even lower than for sending arms. Only 37% of respondents agreed with the U.S. offering financial assistance. This support was divided among party lines, with 51% of Democrats, 26% of Republicans, and 41% of independents agreeing.

14 plus how many have been sunk and/or irreparably damaged at this point? Spin it however you want. The Russians don't have either air or naval security of Crimea anymore.
I suppose Kherson was a "move to avoid being sitting ducks". Common sense strategic move.

Im not spinning anything, now you're spinning what I said..Im just careful not to assume anything at this point.
Obviously you took offense to my poast. I was simply pointing out that the move may not have been a full retreat as you implied/ guessed. Even the article states Putin is keeping a presence at the port
But I haven't seen the privileged intel you have obviously.
Biden not only took his eye off the ball he funded an attack on an ally. New avatar for the war folks. I'm in for this one
