Last week, the flagship of the Russian Navy, the missile cruiser Moskva, sank in the Black Sea. A video of the burning cruiser has appeared in the network.
This was reported on Twitter by investigative journalist OSINTtechnical.
"Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Marine rescue tug Shakhtar (SB-922) near the "Moskva"," the caption to the video reads.
It should be noted that Russian journalists asked the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov for a comment.
"We have indeed, yes, seen the footage, but how authentic and consistent with reality we cannot say," he said.
Recall, earlier the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov said that the cruiser "Moskva" was hit by anti-ship missiles "Neptun".
The Russian official version is that the flagship's ammunition detonated and it allegedly sank while being towed.
