Which one was a lie? There's no port? :(
Russia has an obsession with warm water ports, because most of their ports freeze during the winter. One of the main reasons of the ukranian war is because Russia wants to secure Crimea(and a secondary landbridge to it), their only warm water port in europe(and Kaliningrad but that one is surrounded by NATO).
But this is not a real argument because 99% of countries that have ports, their ports are warm water ones. It is the default, this is an argument that only a russian would make.
I know. Good comment though, for those that do not.
There's a port, but it's tepid at best.
