The crew of a Russian Navy missile cruiser that led the famous attack on Snake Island in the Black Sea at the start of the invasion of Ukraine has ditched the vessel.
At least one Ukrainian official claimed Wednesday that the defending military blasted the flagship vessel Moskva with missiles, though Russia later only publicly conceded damage due to a fire while announcing the crew had abandoned ship.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said"a surprise happened with the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet" and that"it burns strongly. Right now. And with this stormy sea, it is unknown whether they will be able to receive help. There are 510 crew members," according to a YouTube video reported by Agence France-Presse.
