War in Ukraine: the mystery around the sailor crew of the Moskva after the sinking – franceinfo

Last Thursday, Moscow lost the most important ship of its fleet in the Black Sea, the Moskva. What happens to the crew? On April 16, the Russians released a video that raises questions. On images released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, two rows of a hundred sailors and officers stand at attention. The ministry presents these images as being those of the survivors of the sinking of the Moskva. We see the commander of the frigate alongside the head of the Russian navy. Only one statement was not cut. “The crew of the Moskva boat is at the heroic main base in Sevastopol. These officers will continue to serve in the Navy,” said Admiral Nikolai Levmenov, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.

Russia keeps the fate of the crew a secret. The ship sank last Thursday, April 14, but officially there are still no fatalities or injuries. All sailors, about 600, would have been evacuated in time. However, during a tribute to Sevastopol in Russia which will take place the next day, we see a funeral wreath dedicated to the Moskva and its sailors. The France Télévisions teams have tried to join the sailors in Sevastopol but for the moment, no one wishes to speak. The sinking of the boat remains presented as a simple accident.
