Russians are pulling out Novocherkassk destroyed last year from bottom of Black Sea in pieces. PHOTO

The Russian occupation forces have begun to raise the remains of the Novocherkassk large landing ship, which was sunk by the Defence Forces in 2023, from the bottom of the Black Sea. The relevant photos are published by the aggressor country's propaganda resources.

The photo published by Russian propagandists shows a part of the ship that the invaders are lifting out of the water, Censor.NET reports with reference to LigaBusinessInform.

"The Novocherkassk was destroyed on 26 December 2023 in the temporarily occupied Feodosia by tactical aircraft.

In October, Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said that the Russian Navy had lost its ability to influence the fighting in Ukraine.

According to him, even though it is possible to redeploy some ships through inland waters, the Russians will not do so, as they are unable to control even the remaining forces in the Black Sea Fleet, which is currently effectively paralysed in the Azov-Black Sea region.
