Media: Kremlin sacks Russian Navy Chief

Russian publications Izvestia and Fontanka report that Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, has been dismissed from his position. According to their sources, the naval command is already aware of this development.

"Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, has been dismissed, and Admiral Alexander Moiseev will replace him," Izvestia reports.

The dismissal may be connected to the heavy losses suffered by the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the war against Ukraine, a country with virtually no navy. Russia has already lost more than a dozen ships in the conflict. Read more:
