A submarine rescue ship? Nice, time for Ukraine to sink some submarines next.

It sounds like they had it there because of the Moskva sinking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_rescue_ship_Kommuna

In April 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ship was deployed after the sinking of the guided missile cruiser Moskva. The Moskva sank 80 miles (130 km) off the coast from Odesa in 45 to 50 metres (148 to 164 ft) of water. The size of the Moskva, which sank in one piece, makes bringing it to the surface impractical. Kommuna reportedly assisted in recovering weapons, bodies, and other sensitive material that foreign powers might be interested in.

Certainly not. Immediately after the war started, Turkey closed its passage for Russian naval ships. The black sea fleet is on its own since then and can neither retreat nor be reinforced.

Had it in Sevastopol rather than Novorossiysk or somewhere safer in the Black Sea region.
