Should be: To the brave sailors on the Moskva, and the brave defenders of Ukraine.

here’s a pic of it smoking, and burning before sinking
Those sailors on the Moskva are victims of Putin, not the Ukraine. Putin put them there in a war of aggression. It is most sad they died. They died by an act of self defense by the Ukraine. It is the same in all wars. Politicians and despots make the decisions. Then the soldiers and sailors die.
ps
My son was a combat medic in Iraq for two tours. Before his first tour his attitude was “go kick their ass.” After leave in his first tour it was, “I need to be there for my guys as I am the medic.” The remainder of his first tour was exactly the same as was his second tour. “ I need to be their for my guys.” When home on leave he was grateful for such. At the same time he wanted to go back as he was their medic and it was his guys. He lost his First Sergent in the vehicle ahead of him. He saw him blow up. It could have been my son. Chris did everything he could do in the field as in stop bleeding, pack the wound and massive iv fluids to maintain blood pressure. It was no avail. His Sargent could not have been saved even in a modern hospital.
