Putin has outsmarted the entire world with the Moskva ship story. As soon as he had shot down the harmless Ukraine missals he ordered a fake story be issued that the ship had been hit. While holding his sides laughing he also released a tale the ship's sailors had abandoned ship. Now he has completed the ruse with a story the ship has sunk.
Has anyone seen a picture of a burning or sinking Moskva? Of course not. The ship is fine. It is being hidden until the right moment when it will attack Ukraine's hapless army.
