According to the mother of one of the sailors of the sunken missile cruiser Moskva, about 40 people died during the incident, many were injured with severed limbs.. The Russian Novaya Gazeta Europe writes about this, referring to an anonymous conversation with relatives of servicemen who were on the ship at the time of the crash..

Official Russian propaganda promotes the version that the ship's ammunition detonated and it sank while being towed to Sevastopol, and the sailors were evacuated. But in support of the Ukrainian position that the flagship was hit by Neptune missiles with a launch range of up to 280 km, the woman states:.

“The son said that the cruiser was hit from land, from the Ukrainian side. Just so the fire would not have happened. There are dead, there are wounded, there are missing. My son called me when they were given phones. They left documents and phones on the cruiser. He calls me and cries from what he saw. It was scary. Obviously not everyone survived..

They tried to put out the fire on their own after the cruiser was hit by three Neptune missiles.

The mother of the conscript also clarifies that the crew members signed a non-disclosure agreement before they got on the warship.. Recall that on April 14, after being hit by Neptune missiles, the Moscow capsized and began to sink..

An effective attack by Ukrainian defenders on Wednesday, April 13, became the most expensive military loss of the Russian Federation in the war with Ukraine.
