Russia could be paving the way for the construction of a new Black Sea naval base in a breakaway territory, new satellite imagery appears to show, in a move that could risk widening the Ukraine war as Moscow attempts to shield its naval assets from Kyiv's forces.
Satellite images captured in the past few years, including since invading Russian troops crossed over into Ukraine in February 2022, indicate construction work and dredging at the port of Ochamchire in Abkhazia, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
The port could now handle larger cargo ships, the outlet said, citing officials in control of Abkazia.

...""Even if they start constructing the base in Ochamchire, it will take them at least three years," the head of Tbilisi's foreign relations committee, Nikoloz Samkharadze, told the broadcaster. "We do not observe any moves to start construction in Ochamchire.
"We are concentrated on imminent threats, and not on threats that might come in the future."
