Three days after the sinking of a Russian cruiser in the Black Sea, the Russia has broadcast, Saturday, April 16, a video showing sailors presented as being the survivors. So there would be no deaths. Images and a balance sheet that challenge.
A video, released on Saturday April 16 by the Russian Ministry of Defense, presents men in uniform as being the survivors of the ship Mokay, which sank in the Black Sea. Lined up and at attention, they are one hundred, while the ship had nearly 500 men.
Officially, the entire crew was evacuated without causing any casualties, which several experts doubt. “The ship was sinking, so it is very likely that at this time a number of sailors became trapped in the boat, and others were evacuated. But anyway, there were casualties“, considers General Vincent Doorsprofessor of military strategy at Political science.
In Sevastopol in Crimea, an official ceremony paid tribute to the ship on Friday 15. On a funeral wreath, there is a disturbing message: “Tribute to moksva and its sailors”. However, none of them have officially disappeared. The ship embodied the pride of Russia. Moscow always speaks of an accident, and not of a bombardment by the Ukrainians.
