Tragic Events Are Unfolding In The Mediterranean For Russia

Syria's new authorities are pushing out the Russian navy.

The Syrian authorities are forcing the Russians out of the Tartus military base in the Mediterranean, so Russian ships will probably have to return to the base bypassing Europe, which is very expensive and time-consuming.

A representative of the Navy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Dmitry Pletenchuk told about this on the air of a telethon report. In particular, he was asked to comment on the information that there were 3 Russian ships in the Mediterranean Sea this morning, including the carrier of 8 Kalibr cruise missiles.

"Interesting, even to some extent tragic for the Russians, in terms of geopolitics, events are unfolding there. They are there stepping little by little towards the exit. Of course, it has become a problem for them that they have been asked, apparently, to leave the now former base in Tartus, which they built there for half a century. We are seeing actions that indicate that they are still forced to leave it," Pletenchuk said.

He added that the Russians have a place in that region to bunker - to enter ports in Algeria and Egypt, but these are not military bases. The military officer also added that Russian ships have logistical problems because of the situation in Tartus. According to him, logistics for the Russians now, given the closed Bosporus, is quite difficult in the Mediterranean. They continue to demonstrate their presence there - they show their flag and, of course, "will still come back here," but it is not possible for the Russians to use the fleet for this purpose as before.

"Now they will have to bypass Europe, across the Atlantic to come here, and here they will have to fulfill the tasks set before them by their leadership. Because, unfortunately, they are also trying to promote their interests in Africa. We all understand what those interests are, but it is becoming quite expensive and time-consuming," Pletenchuk explained.
