This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Kremlin has fired its top naval commander after a series of spectacular attacks by Ukraine on Russia’s Black Sea fleet, Russian media reports.
As a result, Moscow has been forced to withdraw most of its Black Sea fleet from its main base in Crimea to Novorossiysk on the Russian mainland, while Ukraine has been able to restart grain exports from Odesa and other nearby ports, bringing them back to prewar levels.
This year, Ukraine used sea drones to sink the modern Russian warship Sergei Kotov and a heavy assault ship, the Tsezar Kuniko.
Kyiv’s successes in the Black Sea have offered the country a much-needed boost in morale at a time when its ammunition-starved forces are on the defensive across the battlefield in eastern Ukraine.
Yevmenov’s firing comes days after the international criminal court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against him, accusing him of crimes against humanity for directing missile strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure between October 2022 and March 2023.
The Kremlin’s winter campaign crippled the Ukrainian grid, causing widespread blackouts and leaving millions of civilians in the dark without electricity and heating.
