This is reported by the UK Defense Ministry.
The intelligence community speculates that Admiral Oleksandr Moiseev could have been appointed to replace him.
Yevmenov's dismissal followed the resignation of the second commander of the Black Sea Fleet in February 2022 and followed the loss of the Sergei Kotov corvette on March 5, 2024, the ninth large vessel lost as a result of Ukraine's actions since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Although Admiral Moiseev was a career submariner, before being appointed commander of the Northern Fleet, he commanded the Black Sea Fleet in 2018-2019.
“It is likely that Admiral Moiseyev's first task as Commander in Chief of theNavy will be to stabilize the security situation in the Black Sea and implement changes designed to improve the Black Sea Fleet's combat capability in the region.”
- Recently, the Russian media reported on the change of the commander of the Russian Navy, namely the dismissal of Yevmenov. The Kremlin refused to comment.
