Dmitry Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, made the statement in a Facebook post on Monday. 'The last patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is leaving our Crimea right now. Remember this day,' he said.
If true, it could mark the end of Russia's Black Sea Fleet presence around Crimea. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and has used Sevastopol Naval Base as the primary headquarters for the Black Sea Fleet.
