An important claim has been raised regarding the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, the ‘Moscow’, which was sunk in the Ukrainian war. The Command of the Southern Forces of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine suggested that the Russians were not after their dead sailors, but the remaining nuclear-armed missiles on board. As Russia intensifies search and rescue activities in the area where the warship sank, the Ukrainian side has raised the claim that some of the 16 cruise missiles on the ship's deck carry tactical nuclear deckers. Ukraine has also declared the sinking of the Russian warship its historical heritage, declaring Russia's work on the wreck already illegal. As Russia stepped up its efforts to find and remove debris related to the "Moscow", the Southern Forces Command of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine suggested that the Russians were not after their dead sailors, but the remaining nuclear-tipped missiles on board. In a written statement, the cruiser was equipped with 16 new-generation 700 km-range “Vulkan” cruise missiles, stressing that “According to the intelligence data we have, tactical nuclear warheads were installed on several of the 16 cruise missiles on the cruiser "Moscow" before they were sent to the Ukrainian war. The captions, which were not affected by conventional explosions when the ship sank, are now located at the bottom of the Black Sea. The Russians want to remove these headlines from the bottom as soon as possible so that the fact of a nuclear weapon does not arise,” he said. It is also stated that if the titles fall into unwanted hands, they may pose a security risk.
