A surviving sailor of the cruiser Moskva, sunk by the Ukrainian army, told his mother that the ship was to drop off the marines in Odesa. Radio Svoboda journalists managed to talk to the woman.
Her name is not mentioned for security reasons. She said that on April 14, she spoke on the phone with her son - a conscript sailor who served in the Moskva and survived.
The woman is convinced that her son's service was "peaceful" and, at the same time, says that the cruiser went to Odesa to drop off the military there. The woman also said that, according to her son, there were about 510 people in Moskva. Her son told her he knew of the 40 dead.
