“It didn’t sink, it didn’t sink” – the ship for the evacuation of Russian troops from Syria broke down in the open sea

The cargo ship Sparta, which Russia sent to transport its weapons and equipment from Syria, broke down during the movement – the fuel pipe of the main engine failed.

This is reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Russian crew is trying to fix the problem and is drifting in the open sea near Portugal.

Meanwhile, the remnants of the Russian contingent in Syria have finished withdrawing from remote areas and are in only two locations — at the air base in Khmeimim and the naval base in Tartus.

Russia began to transfer some of its weapons and equipment from the port of Tartusa by sea to Libya.

Also, the Russian military in Syria is actively discussing the alleged demand of the new government of the Arab republic to Moscow — to completely withdraw its military contingent from Syrian territory, in particular from the bases in Khmeimim and Tartus, no later than February 20, 2025.

This step is allegedly related to the desire of the new government in Damascus to achieve the lifting of international sanctions.

We would like to remind you that in the north of Kharkiv Oblast, the weather situation is difficult – fog and rain require extraordinary efforts from Ukrainian drone operators.
