The mother of one of the sailors of the sunken Russian cruiser” Moscow “ denied the official information of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that the ammunition exploded after a fire on the ship, not because of missiles. The woman told reporters about the “Schemes” program, referring to the words of her son, who survived and got in touch with her on April 14.
Schem journalists identify sailors who were on the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and try to find their parents. In particular, the mother of one of the surviving sailors said after a conversation with her son that all his words about what happened on the cruiser completely denied the information spread by the Russian Defense Ministry. Journalists do not disclose the woman's name. “
” My son called me on the 14th in tears and said, “Mom, do you understand what happened? We launched three rockets! – said the woman. – Some of the guys were evacuated to the Makarov frigate. All survivors were taken to Sevastopol. They were given phones, because they were, sorry, only in shorts and vests. They have everything left there, both phones and documents. They are without everything. ”
The woman asked her son about the fire that allegedly broke out on the cruiser and caused the detonation of ammunition. To which he replied: “No, Mom, it's not true. It's not a fire. ”
He doesn't just say that, he doesn't take it from his head. He tells me and cries from the horror he experienced. Well, agree that he just wouldn't come up with it. And this is not a wooden boat that would just catch fire. Nobody explains anything. I just don't understand why the radars on the famous cruiser that was equipped did not recognize these Neptune missiles, “she commented on her son's words.
According to her son, the woman also reported at least 40 dead sailors from the cruiser.

However, that evening, the Russians fired on a plant that made components for Neptune missiles. Later, Russian authorities began distributing videos of questionable authenticity with alleged sailors who were on the cruiser and survived.
We will remind also that after sinking of the Russian cruiser the commander of the Navy of Ukraine was promoted to the vice-admiral.
