BREAKING: A senior U.S. defense official says the U.S. believes the Russian guided-missile cruiser that sank in the northern Black Sea was struck by at least one Ukrainian anti-ship missile, as claimed by the Kyiv government.
Ukrainian officials have not confirmed striking targets in Russia, and the reports could not be independently verified.However, Ukrainian officials said their forces did strike a key Russian warship with missiles. And after more than a day of the Pentagon saying it could not confirm the claim, a senior U.S. defense official said it now believes the Moskva was hit Wednesday by at least one, and probably two, missiles, creating the large fire aboard.
The sinking of the Russian warship reduces Russia’s firepower in the Black Sea, although military analysts disagreed on the event’s significance to the course of the war. Either way, the loss was viewed as emblematic of Moscow’s fortunes in a seven-week invasion widely seen as“A ‘flagship’ russian warship is a worthy diving site. We have one more diving spot in the Black Sea now.
In one central park, a small group of people including a woman draped in a Ukrainian flag danced to the music of a portable speaker. “Why the exhumation is being carried out and where the bodies will be taken is unknown,” the council said on the Telegram messaging app. Dmytro Chubenko, a spokesman for the regional prosecutor’s office, told Ukraine’s Suspilne news website, that Ukrainian authorities had opened criminal proceedings in connection with a suspected “violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with premeditated murder.”
The Russian Defense Ministry said Friday that Russian strikes in the Kharkiv region “liquidated a squad of mercenaries from a Polish private military company” of up to 30 people and “liberated” an iron and steel factor in Mariupol. The claims could not be independently verified.
