The loss of the Moskva, flagship of its fleet, is a humiliation for Russia. The missile cruiser sank Thursday, April 14. With him, it is a symbol of the Russian maritime power that is swallowed up. What happened Thursday off the Black Sea? An accidental fire according to Moscow, successful firing of anti-ship missiles according to the Ukrainians.
The hypothesis is confirmed by the United States and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky drives the point home. “We show that the place of Russian ships is at the bottom of the water”, he says. What happened to the 500 sailors on board? How many victims, how many survivors? No image of the sinking has leaked. The aging Moskva was put into service in the days of the USSR. He was a key element of the Russian deployment in the Black Sea, off the strategic port of Odessa (Ukraine). Moscow’s response was not long in coming, with the resumption of operations in kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, on the night of Thursday 14 to Friday 15 april.
