The mother of Egor Shkrebets, a conscripted sailor who had served on the cruiser Moscow and went missing, told The Insider she and her husband were at a hospital in Rocky Bay, where the wounded from the cruiser were brought. There were about 200 injured sailors, she said. In all, according to Schkrebets' mother, there had been over 500 people on board the ship.
«We looked at every burnt kid. I can't tell you how hard it was, but I couldn't find mine. There were only two hundred people, and there were more than five hundred on board the cruiser. Where were the others? We looked in Krasnodar, and everywhere else, we called every place, but we couldn't find him», Irina Shkrebets said. Yegor Shkrebets served as a cook on the Moskva, doing active duty. «They were on combat duty, cooking meals. Since taking the oath on August 14, he had been on board the ship.» The first time he called his parents after the war began, telling them they had taken Snake Island. The last time, according to his mother, her son contacted her via Viber messenger on April 9: he said he would not be in touch, writing from another person's number. After the reports that the cruiser had sunk, Yegor's and other conscripts' parents began searching for information about the survivors and the dead. According to Irina Shkrebets, they were not allowed anywhere. «We went to the unit, the commander came out, made a helpless gesture and said, «I won't tell you anything.» I said, «Where is my son?» and he said, «Well, somewhere at sea.» My husband became indignant: «What do you mean, at sea? Where have you been?» - «I was in totally another place.» Those commanders were not on the ship. According to Shkrebets, one of them is Pavel Borisovich Vakula (deputy commander of the ship, captain of the 3rd rank), the other is Roman Dmitrievich, surname and rank unknown. According to Irina, the parents, tried to contact the FSB as well. «We came to the FSB headquarters in Sevastopol, but nobody came out to meet us - they were standing behind the fence, my husband shouted: «Come out and call the police. Let me beat your face in.» He didn't even come out, he just crossed his arms behind the bars, as if saying goodbye, and that was it. That's the Navy and the FSB of Sevastopol for you», Irina said. According to her, they wanted to familiarize themselves with the list of the killed and missing in action, but no agency gave them the lists.
Irina was also contacted by a commander who had been on the ship: «I said, «Can you at least tell me how my son died?» and he said, «I don't know anything, they were at the supply station. We had missiles all over the cruiser.» He couldn't say and somehow avoided saying a missile had hit the ship.»
Information about Yegor Shkrebets was published on Vkontakte by his father Dmitry Shkrebets. He said his son was not on the list of those killed and wounded. «My son is a conscript, as I was told by the commanders of the Moskva cruiser he is not listed among the dead and wounded and is included in the list of those missing in action. A conscript, who was not supposed to take part in combat operations, is listed as missing in action. You see, missing on the high seas?!!!», writes Shkrebets. In his post, the father of the conscript also mentions he tried to contact the commander of the cruiser or his deputy, but after Shkrebets attempted to learn more about the incident, they broke contact. «I asked directly: why are you, the officers, alive while my son, a conscript, has died?» the post reads.
Earlier, the Agency publication reported another missing conscript who had served on the Moskva cruiser. According to the report the Vkontakte user Ulyana Tarasova wrote her son Mark was missing after the sinking of the cruiser. The journalists also found Mark's Instagram page where he had published his photo wearing a sailor uniform.
Novaya Gazeta Europe spoke to the mother of a sailor who served on the Moskva cruiser. According to her, «about forty people were killed on it, several people went missing, and a lot of people were wounded. The newspaper's interlocutor also said that «the cruiser was hit from the land, from the Ukrainian side.» «Most of the wounded had lost their limbs, because there had been explosions caused by both detonated munitions and rocket hits,» she said. The sailor's mother suggests the Russian authorities are covering up the information about the dead «because the Defense Ministry doesn't want to admit a defeat from Ukraine. It doesn't want to admit such a cruiser was wrecked.»
Margarita Simonyan, head of RT blocked Dmitry on her Twitter, after he’d asked her what happened to his son.
A few days after speaking with a journalist from Prague-based Radio Svoboda, Dmitry finally received an official letter about the fate of his son from the Black Sea Fleet command.
“The Moskva cruiser sank in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. During an ‘emergency situation,’ Yegor Schkrebets fell over board and disappeared in the open sea.”
No financial compensation was issued, because it was the seaman’s fault.
Those poor parents. They are not being assisted by the hospital. They are expected to wander aimless searching for their Son. Looking room by room.
What has probably really happened, his their son was shot to death by the Ukraines, then his corpse was jammed into one of those Crematoriums On Wheels that nobody wants to discuss.
There may not even be a record of names for the Russian military fed into those devices.
We in America have sunk low under President Potato-Head aka Biden, but even with that said, I cannot imagine one of those Crematoriums on wheels being (openly) utilized on our streets. Not yet anyway.
During an ‘emergency situation,’ Yegor Schkrebets fell over board and disappeared in the open sea.”We are talking about the Russian Navy. He was probably blind drunk.
No financial compensation was issued, because it was the seaman’s fault.
I have it on good authority from the Putin fanboy wing of free Republic that the ship never sank and all are well.
In addition the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine is 100% fabrication it has never occurred.
“In addition the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine is 100% fabrication it has never occurred.”
Yet at the same time the fanboys insist that
1. The USA has troops fighting Russia.
2. There are Nazis fighting Russia
Shes lucky Pukein didn’t send her to prison
There are also Russian neo-Nazis fighting. Strange how Pukein supporters ignore that
This gets a little crazier every day. We’ll be lucky to live through this, given how many crazy and stupidly incompetent people are at the top of almost every country on earth nowadays.
During a "special emergency situation," to be precise! Definitely NOT a missile attack, while their radar had been switched off!
Regards,
Russian punishment, if the relatives question the official narrative.
Our Russian Friends here on FR keep telling us that the Russian people are used to difficulties, deaths, and hardships during their lives.
It makes me wonder why, then, do these mothers and fathers get so emotional about their sons being dismembered and dishonored by their country? Are they “used to this?”
I am confused...because the Russian supporters on FR told me everyone should be happy that Russia is in Ukraine, killing nazis.
(Yes...I am being sarcastic.)
