  • Interesting. Just read that Russia are in fact building a new deep sea port in Taman but for obvious reasons they are not entertaining the idea that it might be a replacement to Sevastopol.

  • building a new deep sea port in Taman

    Makes complete sense. So (outside of a few measly billion*) there is no reason (geographical, etc.) why Sevastopol should be the only warm port accessible to Russia.

    Georgia are also trying to build a deep water port.

    * For perspective: "Today, although Russian losses are a military secret, Ukrainian estimates put the material cost to Putin from the destruction of tanks, planes and weapons at around US$5 billion for just the first two days of the war."

    Political reasons can be quite compelling when it comes to making decisions.
