And the Russians say they did just that.

Russia claims that they sank their own flagship cruiser by setting fire to the ammunition. The Moskva poses symbolic significance to Ukraine as it was one of the ships involved in the famous exchange at Snake Island in February.



In late February, the Russians approached the Ukrainian garrison on Snake Island in the Black Sea, a Russian officer said:"This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed."

A Ukrainian soldier responded: "Russian warship, go f*** yourself."










The 611-foot-long (186 meters) Moskva, with a crew of almost 500, is the pride of the Russian naval fleet in the Black Sea. Originally commissioned into the Soviet navy as the Slava in the 1980s, it was renamed Moskva in 1995 and after a refit reentered service in 1998, according to military site Naval-Technology.com. The Moskva is armed with a range of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles as well as tor****es and naval guns and close-in missile defense systems.


"Only the loss of a ballistic missile submarine or the Kutznetsov (Russia's lone aircraft carrier) would inflict a more serious blow to Russian morale and the navy's reputation with the Russian public," said Carl Schuster, a retired US Navy captain and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center.


This is the second large-sized Russian naval vessel to suffer that fate during Moscow's war with Ukraine.
In late March, Ukraine said a missile strike had destroyed a Russian landing ship at the port of Berdiansk.
