On images released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, two rows of a hundred sailors and officers stand at attention. The ministry presents these images as being those of the survivors of the shipwreck of the Moskva. We see the commander of the frigate alongside the head of the Russian navy. Only one statement was not cut.The boat crew Moskva is located on the heroic main base of Sevastopol. These officers will continue to serve in the Navy.” said Admiral Nikolai Levmenovthe Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.

The russia guard the secret about the fate of the crew. The ship sank last ThursdayApril 14, but officially, there are still no dead or injured. All sailors, about 600, would have been evacuated in time. However, during a tribute to Sevastopol in Russia which will take place the next day, we see a mortuary wreath dedicated to the Moskva and its sailors.
