Families of sailors of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are forced to return from Crimea to Russia.
This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmitry Pletenchuk, Ukrinform reports.
According to him, the families of Russian sailors are forced to return to Russia due to the fact that there are practically no ships of the occupation fleet left on the peninsula.
The Russian ships have been in Novorossiysk for a long time, and currently there are no prospects for their return to Crimea. Therefore, the families of the sailors are forced to move from Crimea to the place of service of their husbands.
“We hope that we will never see them there again,” Pletenchuk noted.
In his opinion, the turning point for the withdrawal of the Russian fleet from the occupied Crimea was the sinking of the large landing ship “Tsezar Kunikov” by the Defense Forces, which occurred a year ago.
