It is noted that instead of the dismissed Yevmenov, Admiral Oleksandr Moiseyev was appointed to his position.
Currently, he is temporarily performing the duties of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, but will soon take up this position fully.
According to Russian mass media, personnel decisions in the leadership of the Russian Navy became known on March 10.
The appointment of Admiral Moiseev as the commander of the Navy has already been confirmed. Admiral Mykola Yevmenov is still listed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy on the website of the Ministry of Defense, but the opinion in the Admiralty is unequivocal - he will not return to his office.
Mykola Yevmenov became the head of the Navy in 2019. He was born in 1962 in Moscow, studied in Leningrad and St. Petersburg, commanded the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet, and since 2016 - the Northern Fleet.

Yevmenov's release took place against the background of the Russians' catastrophic defeats in the Black and Azov seas. Russian ships were vulnerable to Ukrainian naval drones.

Russia is moving ship repair bases from Crimea to Taman.

As you know, Russia used the ship for attacks on the territory of Ukraine, in particular, at one time on Zmiiny Island.
The strike was carried out by Magura V5 naval drones, the Russian ship suffered damage to the stern, right and left sides.
Also, on February 14, Ukrainian naval drones sank the large amphibious assault ship "Cesar Kunikov" near Alupka in Crimea.
On January 31, the R-334 "Ivanovets" missile boat was sunk on Lake Donuzlav, and on December 26, 2023, the large landing ship "Novocherkask" was hit by "Storm Shadow" missiles.
On September 13, 2023, the Rostov-on-Don submarine and the large amphibious assault ship Minsk were hit as a result of a missile attack on the Severmorzavod.
