The Russian defence ministry said the entire crew of the warship Moskva has been evacuated late on Wednesday nght after an ammunition explosion and fire on the ship. However, the governor of the Odesa region, Maksym Marchenko, said the Ukrainians had struck the Moskva with two Neptune missiles. The ship was famously defied by Ukrainian troops on Snake Island at the start of the war, and is the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. The defence ministry said it will be towed back to port.
Russia has warned Nato that if Finland and Sweden were to join the military alliance, then it would take measures in the Baltic. Dmitry Medvedev said “There can be no more talk of any nuclear-free status for the Baltic - the balance must be restored.
