Russia's flagship Navy vessel was towed into harbour toght, in a major humiliation for Vladimir Putin ’s war machine.
Explosions on board the 12,500-tonne Moskva, said to have been caused by two Ukrainian strikes, reportedly left up to 300 sailors dead, and forced its evacuation.
The cruiser was once the pride of Russia ’s Black Sea fleet, which Putin showed off to world leaders at the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics.
