The Ministry says the ship was towed back to port. And the cause of the onboard fire is under investigation.
Russia still continues to deny there was a missile strike. And also claims the estimated 500 crew members were safely evacuated without injuries.
Many families of Russian sailors who were onboard the Moskva are claiming they cannot find their loved ones. And it is being reported that hospitals in Russia are being filled by the wounded from the Russia-Ukraine war.
Photos and videos show the Moskva burning before it sank into the Black Sea. And the US Pentagon says there are videos showing Russian sailors leaving the damaged ship in lifeboats.
Ukraine defense forces have put up a very tough resistance to Russian aggression. And the first 50 days of Russia’s invasion and aerial assault have seen some unexpected victories.
There have also been some notable Russian military failures. But Russia is also waging war on Ukraine citizens. And that is where they have had most of their success.
