No place for Russia’s Black Sea fleet in Crimea - Zelensky’s Office chief

Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Andriy Yermak believes Russia’s Black Sea fleet must not remain in Crimea and “it won’t be there”.

He expressed this opinion via Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Russia's Black Sea fleet was a platform from which the occupation of Crimea was launched," Yermak wrote.

He added that "this fleet attacked Ukrainian cities, in its headquarters, the relevant decisions were made to murder Ukrainians."

“Of course, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation must not remain in Crimea. And it won’t be there,” the head of the President’s Office stressed.

As reported earlier, Russian Telegram channels wrote about a series of explosions heard in the early hours of Tuesday in Sevastopol, the base of Russia’s Black Sea fleet in occupied Crimea. The occupation administration reported that the fleet was apparently repelling a sea drone attack.
