Ukraine mocked the Kremlin after releasing footage showing its launch of the portable Neptune missiles that sank the Russian cruiser Moscow, the flagship of Vladimir Putin’s Black Sea fleet, one year ago today. Kiev officials have mocked their Russian counterparts over the footage, which purports to show missiles sinking Moskva as they are launched. The warship was hit by two Neptune missiles, and images showed a thick column of black smoke rising from the ship as it listed on the port side. Moskva sank on April 14 last year and now lies 150 feet below the surface of the Black Sea. Read the full story:

Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov took advantage of the anniversary to mock the Kremlin, saying “I invite you to a new diving site” to visit the wreck of Putin’s warship. Russia has since tried to cover up the sinking – one of its greatest humiliations of the war – refusing to disclose the death toll or the failure of command that led to its loss. If diving enthusiasts listen to me, then after the victory (in the war), I invite you to visit a new site for diving in the Black Sea – the Cruiser Moskva Underwater Museum. “I invite you, and I will be your guide,” said Reznikov, mocking the Moscow warmongers. He added that the sinking of the warship, which resulted in an unknown number of deaths, “did the seemingly impossible.” It changed the course of history, because a chain reaction began. It was the last day of the Russian fleet’s domination of the Black Sea. Read the full story:

As relatives celebrated their anniversary, Dmitry Shkrypets, 44, whose son Egor, 20, was murdered (pictured), vowed to get justice for those who died.

The father said that these recruits “were not supposed to take part in (the special military operation) – President Vladimir Putin promised this publicly to the whole country.” However, they became its participants from day one, since the first military campaign of the Moskva cruiser on February 24, 2022. Eternal memory to you … and peace to your bright souls. See you soon son. He added: `It was difficult to imagine a greater humiliation of the Russian armed forces, the fleet in general, and the Black Sea Fleet in particular, than all those involved in the murder of Major Moskva and members of her crew, including conscripts. Such humiliation is like cancer, which does not come from outside, but is caused by an imbalance in the cells of the body. If it is not detected in time, it will be difficult to fight.

He said the Kremlin offered condolences to the relatives of the sailors killed on the Kursk submarine that sank in 2000 but that it “doesn’t care” about those killed in Moskva in 2022. Shkrypets said the warship should not be near a war zone with hundreds of servicemen on board. He faces an investigation after denouncing Putin for failing to interview or admit the missing Moskva sailors, and for appointing incompetent commanders, but he vows to continue fighting and uncover the truth once the investigation is over. He declared: “Putin is no longer my president. I do not believe this man, he has betrayed me.
