Russians Claim To Sink Corvette, Ukraine Claims It Was A Museum
Published 2 years ago
Russia released footage they claim shows the sinking of the Ukrainian navy's anti-submarine corvette A206 Vinnytsia near the estuary of the Dnipro River.
Ukraine has responded by claiming that the ship was a decommissioned floating museum and not an actual military target. An article from over a year ago did claim that the ship was intended to be a museum and that it hasn't moved from the shipyard in over 13 years. Due to the muddy nature of information in this and all wars, it's hard to verify either claim.
Additional cope claims from pro-Ukrainian social media user said the ship had actually turned on its side weeks ago due to a lack of maintenance since the war began. Yesterday, we reported on a video that appears to show Russian MLRS targeting a Ukrainian vessel out to sea, and the ship was reported to be the A206 Vinnytsia, but it's unclear if it was the same ship. Even satellite imagery shows the Vinnytsia sitting in the same spot as it is now in this video.
