The Russian occupiers admited that the large landing ship "Caesar Kunikov" has sunk. This is evidenced by intercepted radio communications of Russians.
This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine on Telegram.
The Intelligence Service managed to intercept Russian conversations from the site of the ship’s destruction. One of the occupants reports that he "sees wreckage and an oily stain".
The DIU notes that the Ka-52 and Mi-8 helicopters of the occupiers are inspecting the site of the ship’s sinking. The information relay is carried out by the An-26 military transport aircraft.
According to intelligence, the "Caesar Kunikov" was parked for ten days at a specialized quay wall (the so-called “blind”), from which the invaders load ships with military weapons and equipment. According to a preliminary assessment of the ship’s draft, it was loaded at the time of the sinking.
