Putin wants to secure Crimea, which is where a large part of the Russian navy is and their only connection to the Mediterranean.

It was important. As the Ukraine already attacked targets there, recently Russia moved their submarine base from Sevastopol to some mainland harbor. That means, effectively this harbor has been lost to Russia as a consequence of the war.

Never mind that the Bosporus is closed for military vessels.
