The sunken Moskva/sensor.az
In a letter from the Military Prosecutor's Office of the Black Sea Fleet, it was noted that the cruiser “Moskva” was not included in the territorial waters of Ukraine.
The military prosecutor's office of the Black Sea Fleet also states that the cruiser “was not included in the list of military formations and units involved in the special military operation.”
The proof in the form of a scan of the letter was published by Dmitry Shkrebets, who is the father of the conscript soldier Yegor Shkrebets. The guy served on the “Moscow”, and now declared missing. This document was also made public by Bellingcat investigator Hristo Grozev. zajavili-chto-krejser-ne-uchastvoval-v-specoperacii-34344af.jpg” alt=”The parents of the “missing” sailor from “Moscow” were told that the cruiser did not participate in the “special operation”” />

In addition, the prosecutor's office told the father that his son had not returned to the military unit. This happened after “extraordinary circumstances led to the death” of the ship. At the same time, they claim that the cruiser “did not participate in a special military operation.”
What actually happened to the Moskva cruiser
- April 13, a message appeared about a fire on cruiser “Moskva” – this ship attacked Zmeiny Island.
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that the cruiser caught fire due to the use of the Ukrainian anti-ship missile “Neptune”.
- “Moskva” has become the most expensive equipment of Russia, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed since the beginning of a full-scale war.
- Russia had to admit that the cruiser “Moskva” went under water. However, they blamed bad weather conditions for this.
- Subsequently, the network showed how the Moskva cruiser burned and sank.
- The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the aggressor state could lose at least half of the crew. This conclusion was made by military analyst Sutton based on satellite images from the parade ground on which the personnel of the cruiser lined up and a video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
- When Ukrainian troops sank the Moskva cruiser, there were 510 crew members. Russia says that not a single one was killed, but many sailors are still “missing.”
- The Russian leadership sent a rescue ship to the place where the Moskva sank. The 110-year-old ship “Commune” is used to get important documents and remnants of weapons from under the water.
