…. And it’s sunk !
“ 🇷🇺⚡The cruiser “Moskva” sank while being towed in a storm, the Russian Defense Ministry said.”
“ 🇷🇺 The crew of the sunken cruiser “Moskva” was evacuated to the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the area - Russian Defense Ministry”
This accidental fire is causing the Russian Black Sea Fleet to move away from the coast. Maybe this is the kind of accident that, purely by chance, occurs only within range of anti-ship cruise missiles.
Russia claims the did not lose a ship, they gained another member of their sub fleet!
As Mr. Myagi would say, Show me up periscope Vladimir San,
“ the ship remained buoyant after it capsized immediately after being blasted by the 2 Ukrainian Neptune missiles...”
That likely inflicted many casualties. If there was an Admiral killed, the Russians would probably not mention it publicly.
“ This accidental fire is causing the Russian Black Sea Fleet to move away from the coast. Maybe this is the kind of accident that, purely by chance, occurs only within range of anti-ship cruise missiles.”
That reminds me of when the atrocities in Bucha were first coming to light, and Russian MoFA spokeswoman Maria Zahkarova claimed both that the crimes were just staged fakes, and that it was the Ukrainians who had actually killed those people, in the same media appearance.
Wow. That did not age very well. ;-)
My that did not age very well now, did it?
And boy oh boy was SHE ever full of shit.
Don’t waste your time. Some tinfoil people here will STILL insist she is still afloat and in service. Or, they might switch gears and say “you gonna quote RUSSSIAN news sources!!??” LOL
Crew had problems with the Jerry rigged distillery under the 13cm magazine. The distilled deicer based vodka was more volatile than the last batch.
Now that the ship has officially sunk, we can take it as fact.
My default position is that anything coming out of the war in Ukraine is propaganda/disinformation until it can be proven otherwise.
Indeed so. But they are correct. I heard from them that the Russians have promoted their ship for bravery to the rank of … Submarine.
Sorry about the bad joke.
May the dead sailors Rest In Peace.
There was most probably a lot of lost life on the ship.
May the dead Ukrainians also Rest In Peace. She will be firing no more missiles into the Ukraine.
LOL this is rich. I detest CNN as much as anybody (or considering all the RINOs masquerading as FreePers, as much as most of us) but
a. CNN is lying because they are parroting Ukraine propaganda
b. CNN is lying because they are sewing doubt about Ukraine propaganda
On Free Republic, at least when it comes to the Russia invasion of Ukraine, Truth died a long time ago and buried itself in an unmarked grave.
“Did anybody follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park?”
Yes, it was an August summer night with soldiers passing by.
CNN, publishing unverified nudes yet again.
Talk about jump the shark.
You can;t elieve anything they say.
Generally facts later reveal that what is true is completely the opposite of what CNN reports.
More Incredible B$ on top of weeks of Incredible B$ from both sides and every Fake News agency/organization.
The ship was sunk, is sinking or is still on the top side of the water.
