The Kremlin has (not) responded to the videos purportedly showing Moskva before she sank (reporting from BBC):

We reported earlier that pictures and a credible video have emerged showing damage to Russia's Moskva warship, which sank in the Black Sea last week.

The footage and two images all match the shape and design of the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship, a BBC analysis shows.

The Kremlin has now responded.

"We did see the footage, but we can't say how authentic and true it is," President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Ukraine says it successfully struck the Moskva with two Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles, while Moscow alleges it was damaged after an explosion and subsequently sank because of "stormy seas".


I love the "we can't say how authentic it is" comment. They're usually so quick to condemn "fake" videos like the ones of civilian bodies in Bucha...but now they can't say for certain that the video of Moskva is a fake? Hmmm....perhaps it's genuine?

Hope the person who created the video doesn't end up joining the Moskva.

I'm thinking a lot of Russians haven't forgot either, and this latest loss, especially if the official cause is accidental rather than combat will annoy them again.

Interesting "horns of a dilemma" problem there. Does the Kremlin blame an attack by Ukraine, which is a major shift in narrative and inspires criticism that the Black Sea Fleet' flagship couldn't defend itself....or do they stick with the accidental fire story which suggests incompetence within the Russian Navy.
 
We're hearing more about the signs that Russia is beginning its new offensive in the east of the country.

Earlier we told you about a social media post from Ukraine's Armed Forces Command.

Now Ukraine's National Security Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov has said Russia attempted to break through Ukranian defences "along almost the entire front line of Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions".

"They began their attempt to start the active phase," he added, in comments that were televised.

He said Russian troops had captured the town of Kreminna, about 50km (31 miles) northeast of Kramatorsk, but Ukrainian troops were "holding the line" in the other areas.
