Quote: “This event occurred upon direct involvement of the Ukrainian Navy. The type of damage caused to the ship is being specified but early reports say the ship is not ready to perform missions.”
Details: Pletenchuk explained that this vessel was not an attack ship but, despite its age, it served in the Russian Black Sea Fleet and was in working order.
The Russians mainly used the Kommuna for inspecting the location where the Russian flagship Moscow had sunk.
Background: Russian media and Telegram channels reported explosions in the city of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea on the morning of 21 April. The Russians later claimed that a ship had been attacked by a missile.
