The “death of the Russian beast”, the Russian flagship Moskva, show photos that saw the light of day. The Russian cruiser appears to have been sunk by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles, with one of the photos reported to be the last before the ship sank in the Black Sea.
At the photos the slope is obvious taken by the flaming Russian flagship, which led to its sinking.
Moscow says the flagship was sunk not by Ukrainian missiles but by explosions in the ship’s ammunition depots.
The Russian cruiser has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance with its sinking, since in fact Ukrainian soldiers had refused the Russian captain to surrender to Fidonisi.
It is noted that Moscow released a video showing part of his crew, as well as his captain who is said to be dead.

This is the Russian Flagship #Moskva before she sank. It is impossible to fully assess the situation aboard based on one picture but marine salvage masters must make assumptions based on little information.
