The European Union is concerned about Russia's plans to create a Black Sea Fleet base in Abkhazia

October 6 2023

Russia's plans to create a Black Sea naval base fleet The Russian Navy in Ochamchira Bay in Abkhazia seriously alarmed EU officials. A special statement from the press service published on the website of the Diplomatic Service of the European Union expresses strong concern about this matter.

If Russia continues to implement its stated plans, it will further increase tensions and threats to stability in the region

- the EU diplomatic service said in a statement.

The published document recalled that the European Union considers Abkhazia to be part of Georgia and supports the integrity of this state “within its internationally recognized borders.” For some reason, the integrity of Serbia, whose leadership is literally forced by EU officials to recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, is not supported in Brussels.

Earlier, the President of the partially recognized (like Kosovo) Republic of Abkhazia, Aslan Bzhania, in an interview with Russian media, said that an agreement on the creation of a permanent base for ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Ochamchira Bay in Abkhazia had already been signed by Moscow and Sukhumi. Moreover, according to local authorities, the port is already ready to receive Russian military vessels. The creation of a naval base for the Russian Navy corresponds to the interests of Abkhazia, head of the Abkhaz Foreign Ministry Inal Ardzinba told reporters.

Since 2000, Ochamchira Bay has been used for the joint deployment of civilian ships and military boats of the Abkhaz Navy. In January 2009, the base was transferred to Russia for the establishment of a base for ships and boats; currently patrol ships and coast guard boats of the Border Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation are based there.

The water area of the Ochamchira port is an artificial pool built at the mouth of the Dzhurkmur River and connected to the Black Sea by a canal. The port is connected to the general railway network of the republic and the highway. In Soviet times, the port's cargo berth could accommodate Project 1164 cruisers. Other large ships moored in the roadstead at the entrance to the bay. After dredging and cleaning of the bay by Russian specialists, the port can accept ships with a displacement of up to ten thousand tons.

Europe is all in American bases and there are quite a few of them around Russia too! Stop whining under the US whip, we now know who you really are in life... Shut your dirty mouths!
You will whine when Russia starts creating bases under the belly of your masters in the USA (Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, etc.)))))
How tired of this cynical whining of yours is already .. Your next crusade against Russia failed .. Now we’ll ask you for EVERYTHING (especially the Krauts))))

Is she not there yet?!! Are we sure everything is okay with the leadership of the Black Sea Fleet? Nearby Poti, the Turks there already almost have the right to the first wedding night, and Abkhazia is hanging out unattended... So they are skidding on turns, Abkhazians, then they will introduce a dress code, then what other rights are being pumped - they should cook, really, Chacha and guests were treated as a token of gratitude for 2008...

  That’s why the Abkhaz are only now giving permission to place our base, so as not to end up in the role of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) if the Georgians decide to take revenge. In South Ossetia, there is already a military base, it is protected.

  Yes, somehow not very much. You can moor at the base near the wall, and in the roadstead you can drop anchor. In the Baltic there were still points on the high seas for warships where one could stand on a barrel.

And we think Finland. The Baltic states, Bulgaria and Poland are Russia, and what should we do?

  Exactly how! And, Russia can and should install bases wherever there is a need. And you shouldn’t ask permission except from the hospitable hosts. And, Europe, let it deal with the bases of its masters on its own soil. They are sovereign! :)))

This is all largely due to the fact that it will be more and more difficult to ensure the protection of Black Sea Fleet ships in Crimea from attacks by Western cruise missiles.
With the advent of the F-16, there will be a threat even in Novorossiysk and Sochi.
I’ll just be able to overwhelm the air defense numerically with decoys and some part of the missile defense system will break through.
Now they are feverishly looking for a time to hide the remaining ships.

  There doesn't seem to be a bay in Sochi. There is a small one in Novorossiysk, but there is a merchant fleet there. Hanging out on the roadstead in a storm is still a pleasure.

    Hanging out and being stormy are two different things, really...

    They have already made a fence for the submarine brigade and the RKA/MRK brigade, and OVR can freely place all sorts of little things. One misfortune - BORA from the mountains in winter... It gets to the bones and the ships become icy, even small ones play overkill... Therefore, everything is normal with the Novorossiysk naval base.
    AHA.

Look, we got worried. Indeed, the fleet will land on the Abkhaz coast, and how, one wonders, can it be attacked by Bandera’s drones? Not only is it far away, but also the territory of “independent Georgia” is a legal casuistry according to Western concepts.

  This is not the right word, because such bases may begin to appear in different parts of the world!
  Many countries look to Russia with hope, hoping to save them from Anglo-Saxon pressure and robbery. There are few of us, but we are wearing vests!

  Is the fleet needed only to stay away from the enemy, and not to block ships going to its ports and back?

    The Black Sea Fleet has shown that it has little guts for blocking.
    You can hide behind beautiful wording as much as you like, but the fact remains that Ukraine, without having its own fleet, managed to squeeze us out of the eastern part of the Black Sea. Naturally, with the help of the USA and Britain, but still... First they threw it away from Odessa, then Nikolaev, wasp. Zmeinny, from Kherson. Now they have forced us out of Sevastopol to Feodosia, to Novorossiysk. Ochamchira is the extreme point - there is nowhere to retreat further.
    Although, the move is still correct. Otherwise, missiles and drones would continue to fall on the fleet's ships.

  What do we need Georgia, authority? They have not yet fully answered us about Tskhinvali and how they sponsored Chechen militants, through the Panki Gorge, etc.
  Russia is starting to behave harshly and the time for “expressing concerns” is over...Blab, you will get hit with full missiles!
  Russia is already tired of all these corrupt mongrels from the former USSR
  They don’t understand well, but here you go now.. The Russians harnessed the harness for a long time and were baptized at the thunder..
  Now it's off to a good start!

They write that underwater drones with a range of 1000 km have appeared in the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. And they seem to be English. And three Russian
The ships are already disabled.
Isn't it time for us to hit the factories where they are produced?
Of course, I understand that these are fantasies, because the children of the aligarchs study and live there...

And in general, it’s time for Russia to turn on the “fool” too.
Hit the NATO base and say that this is not Russia - this is the OPPOSITION, under
called FRIENDS OF RUSSIA, to which we also supply weapons
just like the West supplies weapons to Ukraine. So we didn't attack you.
And what will be their answer - to act in a mirror way.

uv others and not others, incl. CIPsio!
It is proposed, in the spirit of peace and establishing strategic partnerships with countries, to hold joint negotiations with the leadership of countries on the joint use of ports for peaceful purposes by Russian warships;
Mexico - Puerto Veracruz, Lazaro Cardenas, South Korea - Busan (by mutual agreement with Comrade Kim Jong-un), Nicaragua - Mangua...
Yes, you never know what other countries there are that, in the spirit of establishing world peace, agree to a strategic partnership with the Russian Navy!
And let the False West tremble, the unipolar world has outlived its usefulness, countries need to renew the emerging new world with new Centers of Power!
I have the honor.

The main thing is that in the photo there are “Vultures” produced by our SZ.
We lived like that! The plant was steaming hundreds of them. Maybe it was bent. Dozens, definitely. And on Egypt, and other Greece/Ethiopia.
Now the complete one remains from the factory...
How sad this is...
The main thing is that there were enough engines and equipment in the eighties. Which is typical.
And these boats went like a platform. There the weapons were supplied according to the customer's instructions.
