Russia’s ‘ship of shame’ returns home from Syria
A Russian aircraft carrier used to wage a massive offensive on the Syrian city of Aleppo is on its way back to Russia, Britain’s defense minister said Thursday, calling it a “ship of shame.”
“We will keep a close eye on the Admiral Kuznetsov as it skulks back to Russia,” Defense Minister Michael Fallon said in a statement.
The Russian warship travelled through the North Sea to Syria last year, to help Moscow ally President Bashar al-Assad’s troops recapture rebel areas of Aleppo city after four years of fighting there.
