Ukrainian military last night could destroy another russian warship. However, the information currently needs confirmation.
Oleksii Arestovych, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, told about this during a traditional evening briefing about the situation at the front.
When Arestovych began to voice russia's renewed losses in Ukraine and reached the boats and warships, he named the figure 8. And then he added, "Some people say it's 9 units after tonight. This information needs clarification."
Earlier, the russian missile cruiser "Moscow" was damaged on April 13 by the anti-ship cruise missile "Neptune," released by the defenders of Ukraine. April 14, "Moscow" went to the bottom.
At the beginning of the war, this cruiser, together with the patrol warship of the Black Sea Fleet "Vasyl Bykov," demanded to surrender to the defenders of the island of Zmiinyi. To which they answered the already legendary phrase "Russian warship, go fuck yourself!"
According to the Ukrainian authorities, only 58 of more than half a thousand crew members were saved. Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed the death of one and wounded 27 russian sailors.
Russian investigators say that about 200 wounded sailors of the cruiser "Moscow" are in the hospital, where another 300 are unknown.
