Roughly 120 sailors and officers will be seen within the soundless footage standing at consideration in gown uniform. The 26-second clip was posted to the Russian Ministry of Protection’s Fb web page.
“Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Nikolai Evmenov and the command of the Black Sea Fleet held a gathering with the crew of the missile cruiser ‘Moskva’ in Sevastopol,” based on the video’s caption.
“The traditions of the Guards missile cruiser ‘Moskva’ might be fastidiously preserved and continued, because it has all the time been accepted within the Navy,” it continued.
The 600-foot-long Slava-class cruiser carried a crew of almost 500 — all of whom had been evacuated earlier than the ship sank Thursday, the Kremlin has insisted.
However the Russian navy has launched no pictures of a rescue operation.
Dozens of individuals gathered Saturday in Sevastopol, the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet, to mourn the Moskva’s loss and pay tribute “to the ship and sailors” with a wreath-laying ceremony.
