The Ukrainian headquarters ship Donbass is on fire in the port of Mariupol
In Mariupol, the command ship of the Ukrainian Navy “Donbass” caught fire, Ukrainian Nazis will probably soon begin to post provocative videos with crew members allegedly killed by the forces of the Donbass republics and the Russian Federation.
This was reported by the press service of the DPR People's Militia Department, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“According to available information, Ukrainian nationalists continue the targeted destruction of ships in the port of Mariupol. After the arson of the Turkish ship Azburg, operating under the Dominican flag, Ukrainian militants carried out another provocation.
Craftsmen of 83 TsIPsO and Azov nationalists set fire to the Donbass control ship. Currently, there is still a fire on board both ships and there is smoke. We do not rule out that in the near future, Ukrainian and foreign media will begin distributing videos of killed ship crew members to discredit the Russian military,” the statement says.
Let us note that the search and rescue vessel of the Ukrainian Naval Forces “Donbass” has been in the Khlebnaya harbor of the Mariupol commercial sea port since February 2022.
Initially it was a Soviet floating workshop. During the division of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, it went to Ukraine and quickly fell into disrepair. After repairs, she became a “control ship”, and later a search and rescue vessel.
At the beginning of March, it was reported that the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy patrol ship “Getman Sagaidachny” was sunk in the port of the Black Sea shipyard in Nikolavev. In Ukraine, they claim that the ship could have sunk due to shelling by Kalibr.
