The remains of Russia’s assault ship Saratov have been lifted from the seabed in the occupied port of Berdiansk, says Vladimir Rogov, a member of the pro-Russian occupation government in Zaporizhzhia. The ship was destroyed by Ukraine in March.
“The Saratov assault ship was hit by a Tochka U missile on 24 March, Zelensky’s gunmen did it,” Rogov said. He claims the ship’s crew then allowed the ship to sink when the weapons caught on fire so as to avoid an explosion.
