Yeah, just like they denied Moskva. Did they ever say how much of the crew was lost on that one?

From what I’m hearing from various sources, it appears Russia is winning, but it’s costing them more than they anticipated in money, equipment and lives.

Russia has told the families of the dead and missing sailors that the Moskva was not participating in the special operation and the ship sank as it was being towed back to port in a storm.

Does anybody expect the Ruskies to admit to any truth? That’s where all the Left in this country learned how to lie.

Our ministry of Truth wouldn’t know the truth if it was staring them in the face and wouldn’t know a lie if it popped out of their own mouths.

Rossiya is definitely winning. They captured Kyiv in just one week and Berlin in 2 week. Now the great Rossiya army is halfway to marching to Washington DC

This war is demonstrating that in this modern technological era naval surface combatants and large armored fighting vehicles are obsolete death traps. However many brave young men will die horrible deaths before this reality is properly understood and appreciated.
