Brand-New Russian Navy Tug Sinks at St. Petersburg Shipyard Before Entering Service
United24 Media ^ | 8/29/2025 | IVAN KHOMENKO

A newly built Russian Navy tugboat, Kapitan Ushakov (Project 23470), sank on August 9 near the pier of the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg during final outfitting works, according to Russian media outlet Fontanka.

The incident occurred in the evening of August 8 when the vessel developed a list to starboard. Emergency services and shipyard personnel attempted to stabilize the tug throughout the night but were unable to prevent it from capsizing. By morning, the vessel had settled on the bottom alongside the pier.

The Baltic Shipyard’s press office stated that the pier was leased by the Yaroslavl Shipbuilding Plant, which was responsible for completing the tug.

According to the Russian Investigative Committee’s regional transport division, the flooding began in the auxiliary machinery compartment, causing the list that led to the sinking. Investigators are conducting a pre-investigation check under an article related to violations of construction safety regulations.

LOL, a tugboat, reclassified by the Neocons as a Navy Vessel, double-LOL. The next posting JR will have to endure is that a Russian dinghy was found to have a leak in it, RIGHT AFTER DELIVERY from its manufacturing plant.

--- "In Kiev and London, panic has set in"

There really shouldn't be any panic. As we learned last March:

"President Trump will get his Easter ceasefire. Bet on it."

Moreover, the whole conflict is over. He assured the readers of his threads:

"Putin's botched invasion of Ukraine is over."

NATO is going to attack Russia? with ground troops, or air forces, or how?

mucus the clown thought this was better than the blue pill, after his predictions for yesterday flopped, like the resistance at Pokrovsk.

Some other reports are starting to come out also.

Know this. We live down here and get to hear first hand how the cartels have advanced their drone capabilities.

Tens of thousands of drone incidents are happening along our border.

Also know this. The largest contingent of mercenaries in Ukraine are from Columbia.

Heads will roll.

Guess the Amazon delivery of the plug was delayed or the guy hid where Putin couldn’t find it.

Maybe that’s why Maxipad has not been seen on FR for a couple of days.
His inaccurate prediction is not coming true.

Or it could be his USAID Ukie propaganda funding ran out.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week.
Zelensky won’t be there.
As I have said all along,
Peace will come between Trump and Putin.
Zelensky is just dead man walking.

The combined Trump/Ukraine sycophancy is a thing to behold.

Yet now that kind is pretty quiet.

A summit between the US and Russia, on US soil, to discuss strategic cooperation is a very very big deal.

Both countries must come away with a win.

That means Ukraine loses.
