as posted by the channel

Russia is developing a new naval base in the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia after Ukraine destroyed around a third of its Black Sea fleet. In 2023, Russian-backed Abkhaz authorities announced Moscow’s intentions to transform a port in Ochamchire into a permanent naval base, which could threaten Ukraine and the security of NATO member states like Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.

WSJ explains what the new base reveals about Moscow’s plans for the region.
