Russian tros engage in looting while awaiting evacuation from Syrian bases – Ukraine’s defense intel

That’s according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, Ukrinform reports.

"The remnants of the Russian military contingent are pulling from the most remote regions of Syria to the naval and air bases in Tartus and Khmeimim. Those who have reached the evacuation sites usually drink and loot while awaiting their flight. Four to five military cargo planes erate between Khmeimim and Russian airfields on a daily basis," the report says.

To transport weapons and military equipment from Syria to the base in Tartus, the aggressor state employed the Ivan Gren and Alexandr Ostrakovsky ships that are now continuing their passage, currently being in the Norwegian Sea, in a few days scheduled to pass through the English Channel.
