A Turkish ship evacuated 54 personnel onboard the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship cruiser Moskva, which was reportedly hit by Ukraine, Lithuania’s Defense Minister said Thursday. Distress call was sent from Moskva, says Lithuania's Defense Minister

The Russian cruiser sent out a distress call at night, Arvydas Anusauskas said on Facebook.

"At 1.14 a.m., the cruiser lay on its side, and after half an hour, all the electricity went out. From 2 a.m., the Turkish ship evacuated 54 sailors from the cruiser, and at about 3 a.m., Turkiye and Romania reported that the ship had completely sunk. The related loss of Russian personnel is still unknown, although there were 485 crew on board (66 of them officers)," Anusauskas said.

Late Wednesday, Maksym Marchenko, the head of Ukraine’s Odessa Regional Military Administration, said on Telegram that the Moskva was hit with two Neptune anti-ship missiles.

"Neptune missiles guarding the Black Sea caused very serious damage to the Russian ship. Glory to Ukraine!" he said in his post.

He also claimed there were an estimated 510 crew members on board.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said Thursday that a fire had broken out on the ship and was extinguished.

"The source of the fire on the cruiser Moskva is localized. There is no open burning. Ammunition explosions stopped," the ministry said in a statement.

It said the cruiser remained afloat, its main missile armament was not damaged, and measures were being taken to tow the vessel to the port.

Later in the day, the Defense Ministry said the Moskva had sunk in a storm during towing after suffering damage to its hull from the fire.

At least 1,964 civilians have been killed and 2,613 injured in Ukraine since Russia launched the war on Feb. 24, according to UN estimates, with the true figure believed to be much higher.

More than 4.7 million Ukrainians have fled to other countries , with over 7 million more internally displaced, said the UN refugee agency.

The truth is gradually coming out

Turkey has further exposed the lies from Russia.

Ukraine said out of the 510 onboard only about 58 were rescued.

Turkey whose vessell actually did the rescuing have confirmed that only 54 were rescued out of the 485 sailors onboard

Russia as expected lied that all 510 were evacuated without even knowing that the actual number of sailors onboard as confirmed by the Turkish vessel which rescued 54 of them was 485 and they also lied that the vessel was being towed to Port.

Turkey again has bursted that lie and said they met the vessel already capsized on it's side and they even provided time stamps to back it up.

No towing vessel at all and they managed to rescue only 54.

So Russia lost 431 out of the 485 sailors onboard from this one strike by Ukraine

No wonder they are ashamed to say the truth. This is a major bloody nose from Ukraine

Four hundred eighty-five crew on board?
That's a huge number of people, it is wonderful that Turkey authority came to their aid.

about 3 a.m., Turkiye and Romania reported that the ship had completely sunk.

And Russia is still living in denial that the flagship has been towed afloat.

More to come!

More to come! Thought Ukraine had been “technically” defeated!

May this war not escalate

Thats what's up mah niggarr....

Many a people died in that Titanic show

Ukraine Sha dey step on Russia's toes
I pray make Russia do mistake drop small missile

Them go just kill Putin danu danu

p

There would have been no war if the families of Vladimir Putin and Zelenski were the ones being deployed to the war front. So many families have lost their loved ones in this senseless war, not a single soul has been lost by the families of these two people.

We know Russia Goverment was lying. The Zombies on NL Love to amplify the lies from Putin, They can't put out logical reasoning to know that a Warship that seized hit by two missiles, must surely go down with casualties onboard.

yes their a casualty Kiev will pay for that now

Wow

Ukraine bought drones from Turkey and have been destroying Russia with it while when Russia dies from the destruction, Turkey run to rescue them..

This is another form of globalisation..

Your Wahala is another man's bread

Turkey constantly opening their fellow dictator yansh.

Aufbauh:


And Russia is still living in denial that the flagship has been towed afloat.

Damage limitation........ That's what they want people in Russia to believe..........

Help offered to humanity

Turkey a NATO country coming to Russian aid..
Later them go say NATO na evil alliance

Rastaramsey:

What's is what up my niqqa?

Okay.
Pls call for your power steering pump of all car models.

Everyone except hypocrites can see that NATO caused this war and continues to escalate it. In fact the war is between NATO and Russia but being fought on Ukrainian territory while NATO hides behind the face of Ukraine........ If only the United States and NATO know the number of countries secretly supporting Putin, they will not be lamenting on social media as if the definition of the world is defined around them. The late Nelson Mandela once said that "The West want everybody to see their own enemy as everybody enemy enemy which can never be possible." Putin has come to put North Atlantic Terrorists Organization and the United States in order........... God bless putin God bless mother Russia

Whenever USA kills people innocent people during war they will open their mouth and say..


Everything is fair in love and war..... This guy's have no sympathy for any thing called human apart from them.





If you suddenly decide to declare Russia an international aggressor, read these facts and figures. Over 3 million people - that's how many foreigners the US military has killed in 60 invasions of sovereign nations under the pretext of bringing "democracy"?

The sanctions imposed on the US for this age-old international terrorism are 0.
Judge for yourself. No politics, just numbers.

Russia is overrated

M

USA ran out from Vietnam and Afghanistan. They will from Russia too.

The Russian ship is very old so no harm done part from life's lost but those dying in Ukraine is far more expensive.
