History reference
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, marking a steep escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014 following the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity (Maidan). The invasion has caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more than 5.3 million Ukrainians leaving the country and a quarter of the population displaced.
Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, helped lead the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was the most powerful surface vessel in the Black Sea region at the time.
In February 2022, the cruiser left Sevastopol to participate in the attack on Ukraine. The ship was later used against the Ukrainian armed forces during the attack on Snake Island, together with the Russian patrol boat Vasily Bykov. Moskva hailed the island's garrison over the radio and demanded its surrender, and was told "Russian warship, go f*** your****". After this, all contact was lost with Snake Island, and the thirteen-member Ukrainian garrison was captured. Slava class cruisers are built for both air and sea superiority, and have no land-attack missiles. Moskva mainly stayed behind other Russian warships, providing air cover for military demonstrations of amphibious landings with Odesa as the apparent target.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych and Odesa governor Maksym Marchenko said their forces hit Moskva in the late hours of 13 April 2022, with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles, and she was on fire around 7 p.m. local time (GMT+3).
On 14 April 2022, the Ukrainian Southern Command said that Moskva had capsized and was beginning to sink. Ukrainian officials and a US official said Ukraine attacked the cruiser with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defence said a fire caused a munitions explosion. The same day, the Russian Navy attempted to tow the damaged ship toward Sevastopol, but she sank in the Black Sea, 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the coast of Odessa. Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in combat since World War II, and the first of a similar size since ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War in 1982.
