Ukraine claims: We hit another Russian ship, a fire broke out
In Ukraine it was announced today (Friday) that the Russian ship “Admiral Close” was hit by a Neptune missile. According to reports, a fire broke out on board following the injury, as can be seen in the records uploaded to social media. However, in Ukraine there are conflicting reports regarding a possible rescue operation of the Russian sailors from the deck.

According to some reports, the ship was hit while it was in the “Snake Island” area in the Black Sea and is in the territory of Ukraine. It was further alleged that other rescue ships departed from the Russian-controlled Crimean peninsula. Ukrainian MP Alexei Gonchenko confirmed the report, but the Kiev Ministry of Defense told the Ukrainian media “Today” that the reports are still under investigation. “This information has been reviewed, we do not deny but also do not confirm.”

Russia declined to comment on reports. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked today if he had any information about the Russian ship, but said: “No, we do not have such information.”

Recall that earlier it was reported that the United States provided Ukraine with intelligence information that helped it sink the warship “Moscow” – claimed a US official on the NBC network. According to the report, the intelligence information was transmitted from the US to the Ukrainian army in real time, thus helping to locate and accurately hit the warship, which sank hours after sinking and sank in the depths of the Black Sea.

Moreover, Ukraine is on high alert ahead of Victory Day on May 9. In the defense establishment the Ukrainians estimate that the Russians can not boast of significant achievements on the front, so there is an increased chance of increased shelling on Ukraine earlier this week. Beyond that, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zlansky even called on German Chancellor Olaf Schultz to come and visit Kiev on Victory Day.
