The Russian cruiser Moscow, defeated by Ukraine in the Black Sea, will be shut down for at least a year.
This was announced by the press secretary of the operational headquarters of the Odessa regional military administration Sergei Bratchuk, quoted by UNIAN.
“The ship will be unfit for battle next year,” he said. Ukraine has announced that it has fired rockets at the pride of the Russian navy, the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moscow. Russia denies the ship was hit by an enemy missile and says it was damaged due to an explosion of ammunition on board as a result of a fire. However, Russia acknowledged that the ship was “severely damaged”. So far there is no information on whether there are any victims. There was nearly 500 crew on board.
Mykola Beleskov is a research associate at the Ukrainian National Institute for Strategic Studies in Kyiv, advising the Ukrainian government on military issues. He says the incident is a “very powerful psychological tool for maintaining morale” of the Ukrainian army. Ukraine continues to defend itself successfully against Russian military aggression on February 24.
Ukraine says Russian ship hit by Neptune missiles
Ukraine has said it has hit the Russian cruiser Moscow with missiles. Odesa Regional Governor Maxim Marchenko said the Moscow missile cruiser had headed in the same direction as Ukrainian troops on Snake Island.
At the beginning of the war on February 24, the Russian cruiser “Moscow” and a battleship of the Russian Navy attacked the Snake Island in the Black Sea, where Ukrainian border guards were stationed. The Russians asked the Ukrainians to surrender, but received the answer: “Russian warship, fuck you.” This phrase has become a symbol of Ukraine’s intolerance of Russian aggression.
Ukraine announced hours ago that it had struck the 186-meter-long Russian ship Moscow with Neptune anti-ship missiles. It is estimated that there are 500 crew members on board. The attack comes 50 days after Ukrainian border guards called on Russian sailors to fuck off. Russia’s defense ministry denies the ship was hit by Ukrainians and says it was damaged by an explosion of ammunition on board as a result of a fire. However, Russia acknowledges that the ship is “seriously damaged”.
The missile cruiser “Moscow” was built in the early ’80s of the last century in the then USSR. Initially, the ship was named “Glory”. The cruiser is the pride of the Russian Navy. The cruiser, which became the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in 2000, played a key role during Russia’s military campaign in Syria, which began in 2015. So far, there is no confirmation from Western sources that the Russian ship was hit by Ukrainian forces. If this information is confirmed, it will be another great success for the Ukrainian armed forces in the war against the aggressor.
