“We know that the ship no longer exists. For Ukraine, this is one of the powerful weapons aimed at us. So its sinking is not a tragedy for us,” the president said. Zelensky replied in an interview with CNN that aired at dawn on April 16 (Vietnam time).

According to the Ukrainian leader, “history will tell” what happens to the flagship of the Black Sea fleet.

“The less weapons the Russian Federation has to fight us, the less its military capabilities are, the better for Ukraine,” Zelensky said.

US defense intelligence previously confirmed that the Russian cruiser of more than 12,000 tons was hit by at least two Neptune anti-ship missiles developed and produced by Ukraine itself.

This coincides with what the Odessa region official announced on April 13. Ship’s Sea Moscow “hit” is located near the port city of Odessa, where the ship has been regularly operating since the end of February until now.

Satellite images and open source intelligence analyst (OSINT) showed that the day before the crash, the Moskva was east of Snake Island. This is the island that the ship Moskva commanded in the early days of the war.

The Russian Defense Ministry admitted that the flagship of the Black Sea fleet sank on April 14, but due to rough seas and the consequences of an explosion on the ship’s ammunition depot.

The Russian military then launched air strikes with long-range precision missiles on weapons factories in Kiev, claiming it was part of efforts to hit “decision-making centers in Ukraine”. However, according to Ukrainian officials, this is “a revenge” of Russia after losing the battleship Moscow.
