The changing tide of the Ukraine War appear to have led the Russian Navy to ‘regroup’ its forces in the Black Sea. Early during the invasion they loitered boldly close to Odessa. Now the Black Sea Fleet barely sails out of sight of Crimea for fear of Harpoon missiles. Its submarines too have recently shifted their base further from the shadow of Ukrainian attack.

..."Until recently, it was not unusual to spot three of the Kilos in the port at once, with one at sea. Now that has changed, Sutton pointed out. For the past few weeks, however, the Kilos have been concentrated at Novorossiysk — another naval base much further away from Ukraine — fearing attack by Ukrainian forces, Sutton added.
Russia fears that Ukraine, having successfully turned the tide of the war, will now push into Crimea, a Ukrainian peninsula Russia annexed in 2014.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised that Kyiv would restore its rule over Crimea and pointed out that it is necessary to liberate it as it "will be the resuscitation of world law and order."

We should not forget that the Ukraine as well as Russia is a corrupt government so that if Ukraine gets the Crimea there is a lot more money to be had. Does any of this really affect the actual interests of the United States?
