Currently, the Russian Federation has the all season open port on the Crimean Peninsula. Previous to the annexation of the Crimea, Russia had a lease with Ukraine for the port of Sevastopol. That lease is now null & void.
St. Petersburg
The Murmansk port city is on the Kola Bay northwest of Russia. With the warm North Atlantic Current, the port stays ice-free and open all year round.
Russia's only port that is open year-round is the port of Murmansk. Located on the Kola Peninsula in the Barents Sea, Murmansk remains ice-free due to the warm North Atlantic Current, making it a crucial hub for maritime trade and naval operations. The port plays a vital role in Russia's Arctic strategy and serves as a key logistical center for shipping goods to and from northern regions.
"The town of Baltiisk, just outside Kaliningrad, is the only Russian Baltic Sea port said to be "ice-free" all year round, and the region hence plays an important role in maintenance of the Baltic Fleet."
