Days after the loss of Russia's Moskva cruiser -- the largest | Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty
Days after the loss of Russia's Moskva cruiser -- the largest naval ship to sink in 40 years -- the fate of the crew is still shrouded in mystery.
But Dmitry Shkrebets knows the true fate of his 20-year-old son, even if Russia won’t yet tell him.
Naval officers contacted him to say his son was not dead but rather included among the “missing,” a statement he seemed to find incredulous considering the circumstances.
“Guys, missing on the high seas?!!!” he wrote in a post on his VKontakte social media page.
"I think the people that allowed this to happen should be punished," Dmitry Shkrebets told RFE/RL. "And how they cynically lie on the [TV] channels that all [of the crew] are alive. How can they lie so cynically?"
