This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Russian hardline pro-war account conceded that the Black Sea Fleet couldn’t defend itself from Ukraine and had to pull back.
In a Telegram post on Friday, Rybar, an anonymous blogger rumored to have connections to the Kremlin, said it was a tough pill to swallow.
“As long as the enemy has access to the sea, and NATO aviation is quietly directing drones and missiles over there, the danger will remain,” it added.
The channel was referring to a string of successful Ukrainain attacks that forced the Black Sea Fleet to move many of its vessels away form its base in Sevastopol, Crimea, to safer waters.
Satellite imagery from the past week showed at least 10 of Russia’s vessels were transferred to the port city of Novorossiysk, analysts at the respected Institute for the Study of War said.
In an intelligence briefing on Monday, the UK’s Ministry of Defence said the threats of further Ukrainian attacks likely caused Russia to relocate its operations.
