Russia withdraws ammunition ships from Syria - British Ministry of Defense

In recent days, the British Ministry of Defense has recorded the passage of six Russian warships and merchant ships carrying ammunition through the English Channel. The British military explained that the ships, which were observed by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, were leaving Syria.

According to the ministry, Russia has been evacuating its military resources from Syria since the overthrow of Assad, which was a "blow to Moscow's ambitions in the Middle East."

"These ships left Syria after Putin abandoned his ally Assad, but they were still armed and full of ammunition. This shows that Russia is weakened, but remains a threat," said defense minister John Healey.

Britain's Ministry of Defense said that the withdrawal of munitions from Syria shows that Russia's prioritization of the war in Ukraine has affected its ability to keep Assad in power.

Withdrawal of Russian troops from Syria

After the collapse of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, Russia began to withdraw some of its troops from Syria. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the enemy Russians had big problems with the evacuation of soldiers from Syria.

Earlier, it also became known that the Russian ship Ursa Major, which was transporting strategic cargo, sank in the Mediterranean Sea after an explosion in the engine room.

At the same time, it is known that Moscow has lost access to its naval base in Tartus after the collapse of the Assad regime.
