The Russian submarine “Rostov-on-Don” passed through Turkey’s Bosphorus strait, en route to the Black Sea, amid tensions between Moscow and the West on the Russian-Ukrainian border, according to international sources.
Over the past week, six Russian Navy landing ships had made their way to the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait.
According to RIA news agency, there are more than 30 ships in the Russian Black Sea fleet who are participating in wider naval drills near the Crimea Peninsula.
Over 100,000 Russian soldiers remain on the Russia-Ukraine border as the naval movements continue. Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden suggested the invasion might happen on February 16, according to international sources.
In wake of rising tensions, many nations have begun asking their diplomats and citizens in Ukraine to return home. Western countries continue to put immense pressure on Russia, threatening sanctions and military action if Russia invades Ukraine, international media reports.
Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have escalated in recent days due to the massive movements and the presence of Russian military units near the Ukrainian borders.
On February 12, the Moroccan embassy in Kyiv issued a communique urging “Moroccan citizens in Ukraine leave the country, for their own safety, through available commercial flights.”
“The embassy also calls on Moroccan citizens wishing to travel to Ukraine to postpone their travel for the time being,” the communique further stated.
