The video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense about the crew of the warship is a crime thriller Moscow sunken Black Sea. The images were first shown after the disaster off the coast of Odessa, and sailors can be seen parading around the city Sevastopol (in Crimea), the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The group also met with the Navy Commander Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov. Among them was the commander of Moskva Anton Kuprin, who died in the accident, according to Ukrainian media. Kyiv gave its version of events, after which the ship was sunk by Neptune missiles. This is one of the reasons why the video published by Moscow opens up various scenarios: for the first time, some sailors have been shown to have survived. In the video, in front of two officers, there are about 240 (there were about 500 on board). And the hunt for photomontages has begun on Ukrainian social and independent media. According to various sources, the video would be dated: the surroundings of the scene would be evidence of this (blooming trees are mentioned despite the cold of that period, which does not help vegetation), in addition to the date issue, which would be earlier to the accident and not current.

The 26 second clip, the leaves and the commander
In the clip, around 240 sailors and officers stand at attention and in uniform. The 26second video was posted on the Russian Defense Ministry’s Facebook page. “The CommanderinChief of the Navy Admiral Nikolai Evmenov and the command of the Black Sea Fleet held a meeting with the crew of the missile cruiser Moskva Sevastopol reads the caption of the video . The 600foot cruiser was carrying a crew of nearly 500, all of whom were evacuated before the ship sank on Thursday. But the doubts don’t stop there: the Russian army has not published any photos of a rescue operation by the sailors. In addition, dozens of people gathered in Sevastopol on Saturday for an official ceremony at which a wreath was laid with a tribute “to the ship and the sailors,” as if the latter had died in the accident.
what comes back
The most important element not pointing to a fake video is the presence of Commander Anton Kuprin, who holds the rank of Captain 1st Degree, although he was reported dead in the explosion. In the various archive images, he is shown as a secondrate captain. And multiple pieces of evidence suggest he was promoted in 2020. In addition, the number of sailors present there are about 240, which proves that those who died in the explosion are not present.
