The sinking of the Russian warship, “Moskva” is a heavy loss and a great embarrassment for the Russian army, “Moskva” was the flagship cruiser of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Russia claims it sank as a result of a fire on board, but US officials now say they definitively believe two Ukrainian missiles sank the ship.
While Ukrainian officials say a Russian airstrike on a target outside the capital, Kyiv today, was likely retaliation for the sinking of the cruiser.
Commentators on Russian state television expressed their anger at the sinking of the cruiser, calling for the bombing of Kyiv.
