MOSCOW, April 14 - RIA Novosti. The missiles of the Moskva cruiser, which was damaged by fire the day before, were not damaged, the Defense Ministry said.
"The cruiser Moskva retains its buoyancy. The main missile armament is not damaged. The crew of the cruiser was evacuated to the ships of the Black Sea Fleet in the area," the department stressed.
The Ministry of Defense added that the source of ignition was localized, there was no open burning, and the explosions of ammunition had ceased. Now experts are working on towing the ship to the port and establishing the causes of the emergency.
Last night it became known that a fire started on the cruiser, as a result of which the ammunition detonated.
According to the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov, the head of state is regularly reported on all events, including on the military line about the situation with the Moskva cruiser.

This won't play well back in Moscow and unfortunately the Ukrainians are going to pay for it.

A long read but well worth it imo.

Putin’s War in Ukraine Is a Watershed. Time for America to Get Real.
April 11, 2022

By Charles A. Kupchan

Dr. Kupchan is a professor of international affairs at Georgetown University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

During his recent speech in Warsaw, President Biden said that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” only to clarify a few days later that he was merely expressing outrage, not announcing a new U.S. policy aimed at toppling Russia’s leader. The episode, interpreted by many as a dangerous gaffe, underscored the tension in U.S. foreign policy between idealism and realism.

Mr. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine should provoke moral outrage in all of us, and, at least in principle, it warrants his removal from office. But Mr. Putin could well remain the leader of a major power into the next decade, and Washington will need to deal with him.
