Tensions Rise as Russia Makes Moves in Ukraine

Russia has moved most of its Black Sea Fleet warships from its primary base in Crimea to safer waters in Russian territory, according to a senior Ukrainian military intelligence official. The move was reportedly made out of fear of missile strikes, though it has not been independently verified. The official primary headquarters for the Black Sea Fleet is located in Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea and the site of multiple drone strikes in recent weeks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has maintained that Crimea belongs to Ukraine, while Russian officials have remained firm that it must remain part of Russia in any future peace talks.
