Sevastopol is the home of the Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet.
Since the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, leaders of the Russian Federation have made it absolutely clear to the leaders of the NATO alliance that the Sevastopol naval base will never be used by NATO, absent Russia itself joining the NATO alliance.[1][2][3]
Dissolution of the Soviet Union
The nominal successor to the Soviet Union was the Commonwealth of Independent States; Ukraine joined on Dec. 8, 1991.

NATO war in Ukraine
On July 31, 2022 the 326th celebration of Russia's Navy Day National Holiday, a drone attacked the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.[4]
