'Slava-class guided missile cruisers were designed in the 70s as aircraft carrier destroyers. For this purpose, they were equipped with very powerful missiles, superb (by 1970s standards!) S-300F, OSA-MA SAMs, 6 AK-630 point air defenses, and a lot of (old) electronics. Since there are no aircraft carriers in the Black Sea, I suppose that the Moskva main role was as a command ship (its main canons don’t provide the range needed to support amphibious assault operations).
The Moskva was probably watching the movement of ships near/from Romania, 50km south of Snake Island.'

'The entire urban area of ​​Mariupol has been completely cleared of the militants of the Nazi formation "Azov", foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian troops. The remnants of the Ukrainian group are currently completely blocked on the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant. Their only chance to save their lives is to voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender.
Let me remind you that at the time of its encirclement on March 11, there were in Mariupol: the 36th separate brigade of the marines, the 109th brigade of territorial defense, the 503rd separate battalion of the marines, a company of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade, units of the 17th anti-tank brigades, Nazi formations "Azov", "Aidar", "Right Sector", units of the police and state border services, as well as foreign mercenaries.
- The total number of this group was about 8100 people.
During the liberation of Mariupol, 1,464 Ukrainian servicemen have already surrendered. The number of surrenderers is increasing daily. Including those who escaped from the territory of Azovstal.
According to their testimonies, the total number of Ukrainian servicemen, Nazis and foreign mercenaries who took refuge at Azovstal does not exceed 2.5 thousand people.
Thus, on April 16, only in Mariupol, the losses of the Ukrainian group amounted to more than 4,000 people.
- Therefore, Zelensky’s recent statements to the Western media that the irretrievable losses of the Ukrainian military during the operation allegedly amount to 2.5-3 thousand are a common lie for him.
- The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has reliable data on the true losses of the Ukrainian army, the National Guard and arrived foreign mercenaries, which Zelensky is afraid to tell the people of Ukraine. Today, irretrievable losses amount to 23,367 people.'
"In the Kherson region, a referendum on the creation of the "Kherson People's Republic" is being prepared - Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova:
"According to the information of witnesses, ballots for the referendum are already being printed in the printing house of the city of Novaya Kakhovka," she said.
According to her, the referendum will be held in early May."

'More countries agree to ruble payments for gas– Russian deputy PM.
Several buyers of Russian natural gas have agreed to switch to payment in rubles, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday.
“We expect the decision (to switch to rubles) from other importers,” Novak added, without disclosing the identities of the customers who have already switched.
The deputy PM noted that EU countries will likely not be able to completely replace Russian energy in the next 5-10 years.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said this week the country is ready to pay for Russian gas in accordance with the proposed scheme. Szijjarto added that his country does not believe this violates the EU’s sanctions regime.
On Friday, Armenia’s economy minister, Vahan Kerobyan, told Russian media outlet RBC that Yerevan has made several payments for natural gas in rubles.'
