(11 Feb 2022) Two Russian landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet entered a Crimean harbor on Friday after a month-long passage through the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
The Ropucha-class landing ship, Georgiy Pobedonosets, and Ivan Gren-class vessel, Pyotr Morgunov, arrived at Sevastopol Bay to take part in large-scale naval drills in the area.
Moscow has announced sweeping drills in the Black and Azov seas in the coming days and closed large areas for commercial shipping, drawing strong protests from Ukraine on Thursday.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced in January that over 140 ships and 10,000 personnel will take part in the exercise amid ever-growing tension with NATO over the build-up along the Ukrainian border.
