"Aboard the "Otrakovsky" is the Chief of Staff of the 121st Landing Ship Brigade of the aggressor state's fleet, Captain 1st Rank Yuriy Davityan," the statement said.
In addition, on January 8, the universal cargo ship Sparta II and the tanker Ivan Skobelev, which are currently moving through the Strait of Gibraltar, are planning to call at Tartus. Sparta and Sparta II will be used to transport military equipment to Libya.
