A Russian warship that underwent a Ukrainian missile strike can now be seen on video going down — and it seems clear … way more passengers died than the Kremlin’s letting on.
The flagship, dubbed Moskva, sank last week somewhere in the Black Sea off the coast of Odesa — but it was somewhat unclear how exactly the massive vessel ended up going down … at least if you were listening to how Putin and co. were explaining it.
According to Russian forces, there was an ammunition fire that broke out onboard — and that, they say, is what led to the ship heading underwater … but Ukraine has said differently from the beginning, and now these images seem to confirm their account.
Ukrainian officials had said they blew the damn thing up with a couple of their missiles — this as the Russian army started to encroach from the sea in their latest effort to bombard their neighboring country.
It would appear their efforts failed miserably … because the Moskva — which was Russia’s largest warship to be deployed against Ukraine to date — clearly lost a good handful of the 500 or so crew members that are reported to have been manning it at the time.
It’s the latest blow to Putin’s war effort … as Ukraine, once again, proves they’re more than capable of holding their own — assuming they continue getting reinforcements and supplies from allies, including the U.S.
