What is known about the condition of the crew of the large landing ship “Caesar Kunikov”

Recently, answering a question from journalists about the amount of personal composition of the destroyed enemy “Caesar Kunikov”, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, Kirill Budanov, noted that the crew was 90 people.

According to Ukrainian Armed Forces Navy spokesman Pletenchuk, Russia is trying to hide its losses, so it is not known exactly how many Russians died in the destruction of the ship, but circumstances suggest that it was a “quite large” part of the crew.

Pletenchuk noted that “a ship is a unit that does not go to sea on its own.”

Accordingly, the crew , most likely, albeit in an incomplete volume – but, most likely, in full – was present on board. Considering the weather conditions, the time of day – it was still dark – of course, there is a high probability that a fairly large part of the crew died. The ambulances took them from the shore, it’s hard to say in what condition,” explained the speaker of the Ukrainian Navy.

The Navy representative noted that the rescue operation began after the enemy ship was hit. According to him, it lasted about a day.
