The representative of the AFU Naval Forces has disclosed the details.
Russia no longer has a full-fledged naval base in the Mediterranean Sea, and its presence in the region has become much more complicated after the loss of the base in Tartus.
This was reported by the representative of the AFU naval forces, Captain of the 3rd rank Dmytro Pletenchuk, informs ‘Ukrinform’.
‘Russia is still present in the Mediterranean Sea and even trying to conduct some exercises, although it actually looks very interesting now. In fact, it is now a foreign water area for them. There are, of course, friendly regimes in Africa, there are even ports where they periodically call for bunkering, that is, they can even be serviced there, but they have no base as such now. And of course, they are trying to demonstrate their flag and military presence there as another factor of destabilisation and geopolitical influence,’ Pletenchuk stressed.
Despite the attempts to conduct exercises and demonstrate military strength, the absence of its own base significantly complicates the logistics of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean Sea.
Pletenchuk emphasised that Moscow's interest in the region has not disappeared - the Russian Federation will continue to try to maintain at least a symbolic presence in the Mediterranean, particularly through African ports.
‘This is already a completely different layout from what it was when they were based in the Syrian Republic. They still have interests there. Africa is also one of their priorities, and they will still be there periodically because it is their zone of interest,’ he added.
