The cruisers "Admiral Kuznetsov" and "Peter the Great" will complete the campaign in the Mediterranean Sea in January. This was reported by Interfax with reference to an informed interlocutor.

“It is expected that in January“ Admiral Kuznetsov and Peter the Great ”will complete the long campaign and go to their native shores,” the agency’s source said.

The cruisers will return to Severomorsk, where the main base of the Northern Fleet of Russia is located.

At the end of December, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with the proposal of the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu to reduce the grouping of Russian troops in Syria. Then it was reported that an agreement was reached between the parties to the conflict in Syria on the ceasefire and the beginning of peace negotiations.

A truce in Syria began to act on the night of December 30, but it was reported that it was broken two hours after the start. According to human rights activists, the rebels violated the ceasefire, and according to the opposition, Syria government troops committed the attack.

On January 3, part of the opposition groups in Syria suspended preparations for peace negotiations. The reason for this was multiple violations of the ceasefire by government forces.
