Newsmax has articles reporting both Russian and Ukrainian Claims.

Ukraine likely hit it with one or more anti-ship missiles as they claim. Alternatively, Ukraine became aware of the situation on the ship through communication intercepts and rushed to falsely claim they are responsible. Who over here really knows?

In any case, the ship is out of commission now.

Ukraine says they blew the ship out of the water.
Russia says the ship spontaneously combusted and sank.

One is propaganda and the other is somewhere close to the truth.

The Russian media says there was a fire due to a “detonation of munitions”, which one can interpret in any way. They also say the main armaments are intact and the ship is afloat.

Finally you guys are catching on, way to much horse manure and not nearly enough observation.

The operational loss of the Moskva will likely increase the collateral damage from this conflict.

Finish off and sink this Russian invader ship.
