Russian landing ship Caesar Kunikov sunk off Crimea, says Ukraine | BBC News



A big Russian amphibious ship, the Caesar Kunikov, has sunk off the coast of Russian-occupied Crimea, according to Ukraine’s armed forces.

Powerful explosions were heard early on Wednesday morning, according to local social media, which suggested the landing ship had been hit not far south of the town of Yalta.

Ukraine has repeatedly hit Russia’s Black Sea fleet in occupied Crimea.

There was no confirmation from Russia’s navy that the Caesar Kunikov had been sunk.

  1. Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian warship, really? This is an incorrect statement. NATO marine type drones destroyed a Russian cargo ship. Ukraine supplies only the cannon fodder, the rest is from NATO.

  2. Another one, lol. The one they said they sunk few days ago was filmed 2 days later sailing without a scratch and the A50 plane they shot down was still flying the very next day. May be the bbc should stop spreading such embarrassing lies.

  3. Normally ships are called what is written on their side. Not translated.
    The ship should be called Tsaezar Kunikov.
    (We don’t call the Nazi battleship Graf Spee the”Count Spee” for instance.)
    If you translated the name of every ship in the world to English most would have unrecognisable names on their hulls. (The Russian word Czar itself means “Caesar.” We don’t say “Caesar Ivan the Terrible”.)
    Neither do we call German Kaisers “Caesars”. The Germans pronounce Caesar correctly incidentally:
    In Ancient Rome the salute “Hail Caesar” was pronounced “Heil Kaiser”.

  4. Campaign of aggression. I agree with that. No one looks at the United States with the slaughters they’ve caused to everyone. Literal destruction of the whole world for decades; god save us from the American government. If the U.S takes over the world, then we’re all dead. It’ll be 600% worse than hitler
