Admiral Igor Osipov 'not been seen alive' since Moskva sinking, say Kyiv sources Suspicions are growing that Vladimir Putin's Black Fleet chief was on warship Osipov, 49, was conspicuously absent from the Red Square Victory Day parade
Mystery is growing over the fate of Vladimir Putin's Black Fleet chief, Admiral Igor Osipov, who has 'not been seen alive' since the sinking of the Moskva warship one month ago.
There are now suspicions that the commander was on board the vessel when it was hit by Ukrainian Neptune missiles, say Kyiv sources.
Initially Ukraine claimed that the admiral was detained amid fury from Putin over the cruiser's sinking.

Other claims were that he had been suspended.
This was never confirmed by Russian officials who this week insisted he was at his 'combat post' but 'not in the mood' to face the public.
Osipov, 49, was conspicuously absent from the Red Square Victory Day parade on Monday, which he would routinely be expected to attend.
He was also nowhere to be seen at events linked to Black Sea Fleet Day this week.
At one event on 7 May, he was reported as being present only for his name to be removed later.
The governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev said: 'Our commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Igor Vladimirovich Osipov, is now at his combat post.

When reached for comment, he only said, “Burble burble burble.”
‘Our commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Igor Vladimirovich Osipov, is now at his combat post.
...at the bottom of the Black Sea.

More Ukraine propaganda, like the Ghost of Kiev, the Snake Island resistance, etc.
Unfortunately for him, his combat post is on the bottom of the Black Sea. So technically they are correct.

Chalk up another excellent Win!
Perhaps you can tell us where Admiral Igor Osipov is?
Most likely, as that’s what “flagship” means.
So his command post has been relocated to Lubyanka Square in Moscow?
Who cares? Is he that important? Does it even matter if he is alive or dead?
I simply get suspicious when another Ukraine puff-piece is written after all the lies.
LOL!
Given a choice, I wonder if he’d opt for arrest or the seabed.
How about the other sailors aboard Moskva? Have many of them been heard from?
Most Navies want to know where their admirals are.
It kind of important.

He defected to the west. First he put the ship in a precarious possition so that it’s sinking would cover his tracks
What sunk on April 14?
He had crabs, and now the crabs are having him.
Nor is your immature reaction to a news story important.
