The Russian Federation is hiding losses among the crew of the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov, which sank as a result of an attack by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on February 14.
This was stated by the representative of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of the national information telethon. According to him, there were officially 87 crew members on board the ship.

According to him, one can only confirm that after the strikes on the ship, the bodies (living or dead crew members) were loaded onto the coast onto ambulances and taken to medical facilities.
Pletenchuk claims that Russia is trying to hide as much information as possible about losses among the crew of the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov. It usually appears over a period of time, and most often — precisely in obituaries.
At the same time, relatives of the deceased crew members are prohibited from publishing such information on social networks. According to Pletenchuk, they are motivated by the fact that Ukrainians allegedly will not be able to rejoice at the losses of the Russian Federation.
On the morning of February 14, it became known about the destruction of the Russian large landing ship Caesar Kunikov after a series of powerful explosions in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
